Silence

by Roselize

Mrs Lovett sank to the ground as a fresh batch of tears poured down her face. "I love you," she whispered into the night.

Disclaimer: Sweeney Todd isn't mine. Aaaaaaargh! I NEED TO THINK OF A MORE CREATIVE DISCLAIMER!

It hurt. It hurt so badly she wanted to die. Mrs Lovett sank to the ground, lips pressed tightly together to prevent her strangled sobs from escaping. But however hard she tried, she couldn't stall the flow of tears that poured down her face.

"If you only knew, Mr Todd," she whispered into the darkness. The conversation they had had mere hours ago repeated itself over and over again in her head.

We could have a life, us two. Maybe not like I dreamed. Maybe not like you remember. But we could get by...Then that sailor boy had run into the room, ruining everything.

"I love you," Mrs Lovett murmured. Not a single sound made its way back to her. She winced and covered her ears with her hands as a fresh batch of tears gushed down her cheeks.

The silence wouldn't stop screaming.
