You slashed my heart open with a searing knife. Paralyzed, I lifted my eyes to your own spheres of blackness, meeting them for a moment. A gasp, a cry, another life drifted into the night. The pain, the sorrow, the regret of betrayal haunting your soul. Kneeling beside me, you hold me close, pouring your heart out, racing against time to save mine. But life seldom can be renewed, for love is often lost. A glimmer, a gleam of hope shines bright. This time it will be different; this time, I will live!

I dont really know what inspired me to write this, but when i found it again, it reminded me about a situation that my very good friend is going through right now.
