Chapter 1: Broken Hope
They reach their hands towards me, placing them on my shoulder, carefully. They tell me they understand; They feel my pain.
I know they don't.
It's driving me crazy; Making me insane.
They tell me it wasn't meant to be. I push them away, telling them they're wrong. They can't be right; I won't allow them to be right. But deep in my heart, I know they are.
They try to comfort me, but I can't be comforted.
I'm an empty shell now, about to crack. My tears flow freely, like an endless river.
I know they're worried. They're always worried.
"You should come down to eat," they say. "Why don't you go to your room and get some sleep?" They ask.
I tell them I can't; I'm waiting.
They watch as I sit here, in this old wooden rocking chair. Everyday I come here. Everyday I'm waiting. Waiting for you to come home and wrap your arms around me, pulling me close as you tell me you love me.
I wait for that day.
They watch me with sad eyes as they question fate's cruelness.
They think they know what pain is; Think they know how it feels.
They aren't the ones with broken hope.
A/N:
I hope you enjoyed this new fic! If you didn't already know, this chapter is from Rogue's POV. The male that she is mourning is not going to be specified, so you can use your imagination to decide who you want it to be.
I will be uploading the next chapter within two days. Constructive criticism is welcome! I would really like your input on this!
Hugs and kisses!
