Until His Face Disappears Forever

Hair dripping wet 

Bare foot on the cold

Staring at herself at the mirror

Not knowing what to look for

or what to see or how to feel

She turns around

Climbs into bed 

Hides under the layers of covers 

Attempts to shutting her eyes

for a couple of minutes maybe

But only realizing that she can't stop staring up at the ceiling

The plain and white ceiling where she placed her glow in the dark stars

She just lays there

A minute of realizing that her glow in the dark stars don't glow anymore

It makes her think about the person who used to make her glow

Glow like a star 

Glow like the moon  

Glow like the Sun

She wanted to have a tight grip of that little happiness in her life

She tosses to her left 

She tosses to her right 

Lays on her belly

She finds no comfort anymore

Grunts with frustration 

His face won't leave her to rest

He wounded her so that she finds sleep unquestionable

She doesn't think about sleep

Sleep is something she doesn't care about anymore

She sits up using her arms for support

Stares outside her window

What's holding her back from breaking

She won't let herself

Tears, anger, sadness is not an option for her

She lays back down

Turns to face the wall

Facing the wall is where she wants to remain

Until his face disappears forever

She sits up using her arms for support
Stares outside her window
What's holding her back from breaking
She won't let herself
Tears, anger, sadness is not an option for her

I love this stanza because though she is hurting she wills herself to stay strong.
I truly feel the emotion in this piece.

I like the repetition in your writing. It adds a je ne sais pas quality. It is simply written but yet paints a divine picture in my mind studio without too many big words rattling around in my brain!

[Mary Ochoa]

This is a good example of free writing but sticking with a structure. my favorite part is when she tosses left in right in bed. it connects readers and helps us relate to your character. we all experience this moment in our lives.
