She had never known heartbreak
She had never lost someone so tragically
She had never cried a single tear of sorrow
Her light shined like a star in the darkness
Her light attracted people from all over
People looked to her for hope, for strength, for courage

While some people wanted to take that light from her
Some people were jealous of her innocence for
they thought it was unfair that they knew so much pain and she did not
Some people wanted to hurt her like
they had been hurt before
Some people despised her because she was content and happy and
they were not

One of these dark souls came to her in a disguise

He was beautiful with dark eyes hiding so many secrets
He was beautiful with his smile hiding so many lies
He was beautiful with his touch hiding his own pain

He was deadly with his heart, the walls built to high for her to climb
He was deadly with his words, breaking her walls
He was deadly with his weapon, a weapon known to destroy all things in its path

She trusted him to keep her safe from all the bad things
He broke her down to build her back up and break her again
She loved him unconditionally as the tears spilled down her cheeks
He watched the mess he made of her with a crooked grin slashed across his face
She knew the pain, she no longer felt content, she no longer felt happy
He disappeared after he watched the flames engulf her
She stayed hidden in the shadows, people no longer came to her for hope or strength
not one single person was there for her after he destroyed her light
The light was too dim, no one could find her and no one wanted to
All good things come to an end eventually
She wandered the world looking for him
She wanted a reason, she wanted to know
She didn’t want to know why he hurt her, she didn’t want that excuse
No, she wanted to know who hurt him, because through all the pain he caused
She still continued to love unconditionally.
