A worn-out smile stretched and unfolded itself upon her face.
She sighed a deep, soulful sound that echoed the wretchedness of her bleeding heart.
She stared blankly at the ceiling, counting the cobwebs to keep her mind occupied.
The cracks on the ceiling smirked at her tauntingly.
They savagely reminded her that her life lay broken at her feet.
It was a reality she couldn’t flee, no matter how hard she tried.
She exhaled, her soul weary.
Her eyes and heart full to the brim.
