he was her source of light
he made her heart sing.
he brought out the beauty in her
that she'd never seen before.
he was her rock
the foundation that encouraged her
to build herself.
to love herself.
they were perfectly imperfect.
outcasts finding comfort in each other.
but the fateful day arrived
when he went away without a word.
left her crawling in the dark
searching for something to hold onto.

he left.

and because of him,
she never had the heart
to sing again.
