Hi everyone,
I hope you're all doing well?
Feels like forever since I've written anything, but I think its time...
This may be darker than my usual stuff, I apologize for it in advance but we have had a terrible Christmas with the loss of 2 children in my circle of friends.
While this has not been a good time for any of us, I think its time for me to start writing again & hope that you'll enjoy it enough to leave a thought behind?
Thanks for sticking with me, hold on tight- here we go...
Breathless Prologue;
Once in a lifetime you meet someone that will become a part of you. Their soul will become entangled with yours, one single entity being formed.
That someone will be your soul mate. They will always be a part of you no matter what.
They will become the person capable of destroying your whole world and crushing your heart in the palm of their hand. They will have the power to own every inch of you- mind, body and soul. They will possess a hold over you that will not dwindle over time, or fade through relationships. You will love them like other, no amount of time ever changing how you truly feel about them.
You in turn will screw up, make a mistake, even if at the time you thought you were doing the right thing. You will be given a second chance, something so rare that when it actually happens you could easily mistake it for something else.
You will be given time to think back, mull over your decisions. You will reflect long and hard over the fact that you lied and walked away when your blood was pumped by sheer exhilaration and you breath filled with utter magic each and every single time it was stolen away.
Even now, in real time, you'd be left breathless...
Sometime in the distant future...
The vast expanse of water shimmered in the moonlight below her feet in silence. There were no sounds of traffic this early in the morning on the bridge.
There was no rush hour, no bustling pedestrians, just peaceful silence...
There was a cool breeze fluttering through the darkness, a chill inside her making her feel nothing other than numbness that she already felt on the inside.
Somewhere once, she had heard that people who had given up on life, people who in a sense welcomed death had a desire to be cold. They welcomed the void that coldness brought upon them. This, in a sense was true. The coldness outside her body was mirrored by the emptiness of her soul.
The toes of her sneakers peered over the edge of the cobblestone wall, barely an inch of her already free...
The breeze dangled her hair loosely around her shoulders, wisps of dark tendrils brushing across her face and over her eyes as she closed them, her chin tilting upwards towards the starlight sky.
One last breath of the unpolluted fresh air filled her lungs as she inhaled, her arms spreading out at her sides in a movement that reflected a birds wings.
She felt her lips tug up at the corners, a weak smile finding its way onto her face as she took the tiniest of steps forwards and felt herself find freedom in the air until the icy black waters below burned her skin as her body plunged into it causing a splash and ripples as she become one with it...
**** Thanks for reading, hope you'll say hi?
