Description
she's nothing more than a modern ghost, her pale skin reflecting off of her mirrored wall.
her eyes are translucent, speaking of promises that never were.
the emotions that used to live in her have long since departed, leaving behind a sullen girl. old scars rake across her arms, marking her for life. her hair hangs lifelessly around her face, and her nails have been all but chewed off.
bath water runs in the background.
any chance of hope for her is now gone, and there isn't even a spark left in her.
no one really cares about what happens next, she thinks to herself.
.
trembling hands hold a note, and a tear drops onto the messy writing, blurring them beyond recognition. the car keys are now in his hand, and he's dashing off to his chevy.
those same hands are now trying to fit the keys into the ignition, but they keep missing. a sob runs through him, and he is at last able to start the car.
tire marks are left in the driveway, but he doesn't really care.
as long as he gets there in time, that's all that matters.
.
she's gripping the knife in one hand, baring her opposite wrist.
she's counting down the seconds, preparing for the pain that is to come.
she climbs slowly into the bathtub, sitting down.
wincing.
the water has long gone cold.
.
she used to be an enchanting figure.
he still saw that in her, no matter how she looked now.
the sad thing was looking into her eyes and seeing nothing.
he drove faster.
too bad he didn't know that he was already too late.
