Untitled

It was consuming her
She knew what would happen and didn’t care
She loved him
Blinded by her addiction

The last fight end and he leaves
She stands, arms lost and reaching
The stairs step out from underneath her frozen feet
She falls into the loneliness that has become her

Hi Jacqueline... That's really compelling! Sad for sure, but also beautiful is its own way. Is there any hope for her?
