THE FEAR WITHIN
~Story of a Destructive Fate...~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'
Alone and driven to insanity,
Reflections of a destroyed women sitting by her vanity.
Shattered is the mirror pointing to her broken dreams and the future.
Gone are the people who could once say that they knew her.
Don't make her a promise you know you can't keep.
She knows they're all lies and they won't help her sleep.
Wet and stained is her face dripping with tears.
Day after day of running into her fears.
Cursed is she with this loneliness disease.
No way for this pain to ease.
Drained now of tears no longer can she cry.
Hollow of emotion inside she will slowly die.
Without a trace she disappears.
No one cared to see that she was vanishing all these years.
So now she's gone how could this be?
Lonliness destroyed the girl at the vanity.

Water pouring heavily from the shower ran through her numb body, her cold skin now drenched in water felt nothing'her moist eyes couldn't differentiate between tears and the water droplets'she stood under the cold running water and stared blankly'lifting her hand towards her face she noticed the ring placed on her left hand'a symbol of something she had known was a bond between two people that could never be shattered, a relationship beyond all other friendships and relations, an undefined love that was forever lasting'she looked at the gleaming diamond her ring held, almost as delicate and fragile as the relationship itself'her eyes were yet again moist, and yet again she felt guilty of 5 years of destructive and troubled marriage'as her eyes flowed up her arm, she noticed the bruises, the hand prints, and the ugly marks that were evidence of her failed attempts in fixing what went wrong 'they say that time heals all wounds but in some relationships wounds only get deeper with time' coming out the shower with her bath robe and her messy curls wrapped in another towel she walked herself towards the sink and stood in front of the foggy mirror'looking at her faded reflection she wiped the last of her tears away, yet again vowing to be strong'she felt the slight sting towards the left side of her neck and noticed the scratch was bleeding again'the scratch that was a reminder of her marriage with a stranger, the moment of that awkward intimacy where she felt nothing...nothing at all'the stranger she had known from the early days of her life'from the teenage years'from the adolescent age' it was ironic knowing a stranger for that long'she winced in pain again and then washed it over with water putting some pressure on it so that bleeding would stop'her doctors instincts had played their fair share of role here, but she was nowhere near living the dream she had always wanted to'her sacrifices were all done to fix the unfixable in her marriage'her yearning for that one moment of love and honest care remained a yearning' she blamed herself at times for not fulfilling that relationship'she blamed her lack of passion when they were intimate'she blamed her lack of dramatic nature when she would just ignore his foolishness'she blamed her inability to become a good wife...her far fetched dream of becoming a mother someday' her inability to handle her relationship well'Yes, it was her fault, at the end of the day it was always her fault, and today was no different'the noise of clattering objects from outside snapped her back to reality and she quickly dressed herself in a black night gown and went outside, where her lifelong stranger maybe, just maybe awaited for her like she had for him'for many years'
