Captured in Time

feel free to interpret this however you like.

“Don’t leave me”

she begged

Her throat sore and eyes now used as dams

“You were my constant”

He continued walking away

“You were my constant when the world changed

When all had lost its color

People lost their meaning

The flowers fumed with no fragrance”

He was silent.

Afraid that if he turned back, his reason for fighting would no longer stand

“When that happened...” she continued “I could still see you, vivid as ever

You only became dearer to me”

He looked back

The moonlight hadn’t shone enough to peer at his face

“Please”

She begged. This time in a weak and tired tone

He turned towards her and watched as the distance between them seemed to go on miles

“Don’t leave me” she uttered, before collapsing

He wasn’t there to save her

Instead, the cold concrete carried her as she sobbed.

Feel free to interpret this how you like! Honestly, it wasn't made to be romantic at all- but I'd love to hear what ideas or story you think came with this. I may write your idea out if I like it :)

Heart wrenching goodbye. Sometimes we don't know what we have till it's gone. Lyrics in a song and I can't remember the title.

sadly I agree. People arent permanent. But just because their leave brings us sorrow doesnt mean their memories must aswell. :)

"people lost their meaning" these few words ringing so true...no wonder that it reached the level of an epidemic
emotionally and humanly well captured
i wonder if unknown404 is female or male
love it either way

[unknown404]

Thank you so much!!
Yeah those words held a certain weight to them- I'm glad you appreciate it.
( Well my name IS unknown for a reason but I'm female haha)

[iliOZ]

it was of course just a literal question not a true dilemma...but thank you for confirming it
:o)

An emotional and heart wrenching story; from beginning to the end, well done.

i think that is emotional
but in a sense i can relate
maybe with two girls though

[unknown404]

do you get romance vibes from it? or more lonely?

[Weirdo_Alien]
