Her body trembled like an unsprung spring

or not daring to move at all

without the sanity to pull herself back up

Daring to not fall apart yet she felt as if she'd already fallen

already half gone in the memories,

reaping what she didn't sow

estranged from the reality of his presence, the soothing ache at his side

Yet she couldn't quite find a will to let her mind wander down that long forsaken path

out of a fear of wanting what she can never have again

unable to catch her breath, because Cat Noir wasn't coming home again.
