Life Overtaken By Winter

The wind whipped through her hair as she stood there watching him pull out of the driveway. She smiled a tainted smile as he looked back once more. She didn't want him to see her pain. She didn't want him to know this really hurt her. Leaves fell from the trees all around her, the same as her heart fell inside. Her face was flushed and red with anger and the pain she couldn't continue to hide. She walked inside her house as tears flooded her eyes. She leaned against the front door as she closed it. The ache in her heart felt like a slow throbbing death. Falling to her knees as she wept, she gasped for air as all the emotions she had suppressed came rushing to the surface. Wishing she could take back time and reverse all that happened, wishing all the pain could vanish. She had asked him to leave, she had told him to go; not wanting to and having to made everything so complicated. Icicles had formed in her chest, her heart had become a frozen mass. So suddenly everything had changed. Their love had turned to a play; a show for all around them to see. Their emotions were no longer caring. Their love like the leaves whisked away in the wind. His lies and forgotten promises froze with the changing of the seasons. Autumn had brought it's winds and had broken their home. The house no longer and home, but a empty cavern. A cavern that echos with lost memories, moments forever frozen in time. Sadness crept into her heart as she sat on the floor. Listening to the wind taunting the outside of the house, she wished winter was over. The ache in her heart; the ache in her head turned into a life ache. The joy, the kisses, the friendship covered with lies like the grass covered with newly fallen snow. No longer fully visible, but it still lies there. The future loomed before her, nothing seemed clear. A fog had crept in with the new snow. The fog covered all plans that had been made. Now she must determine a new future. Now she must figure out her mistakes.
