And The Tears They Fell

*

And the tears they fell.

Silent streams of not sure why, aching hollows of if only. Kindness offered, tentative and rusty, is spurned from habit.

"Is there anything I can do?"

"No."

Routine's rhythm's frozen and there is nothing there to warm her; memories of fingers burned, blown larger by time. More vivid. More painful. Unbearable, now.

Repeating patterns of her life inflict increasing casualties. More are wounded, though none yet fatally, and she takes each blow hard as she swings the sword. She hurts to protect, isolates to cocoon.

But something's got to give.

And the tears they fell.

The End
