Summary: Inspired by CYN. I was supposed to be writing a mythology paper and this is what happened. This was my very first story. It is also the third incarnation of the story...I think.
Whoever
said it was better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at
all was obviously a moron. I
loved. I lost. How
is it better? Now I know what I have lost. I know I'll never feel
alive again. I know I'll never be whole. I ache for him. Never
again will I feel his touch. His arms will never hold me in the only
home I've ever wanted. There is just a gaping hole where
he used to live in me. What is left withered and died. I willingly
destroyed his innocence, his love. I extinguished the light in his
amber gaze. I found my soul only to destroy it. How can a person
live without a soul? The living dead I've become. I was
shot. I died. He healed me. I've lived on borrowed time long
enough. The boatman has arrived. It is time to pay the boatman. I
cross his palm with silver. Three….. Two….. One.
