You lied to me!

Her voice lost itself in the seemingly vacant train station we had called our rendezvous point

She stood about ten feet away from me on the train tracks

Those tracks stretched over the drawn-out land

The land where my heart would break forever

Her voice broke into different layers of grief

Each one a more painful reminder of what I had done

The tracks diverged underneath us

The dust swirled around us, dissipating the rest of the desolate terrain to our eyes

Until it was only the two of us and the tracks

The world melted away and I only saw her

Her sapphire mosaic eyes shattered as she continued to cry her convulsive gasps

Her form was crumbling onto the train tracks, unable to hold the grief she possessed

My mouth was dry

It was as if I’d never spoken a word in my life, I couldn’t utter a word,

Even though that was all she wanted from me

You speechless?

She tried to mock me through her devastating sobs

My mouth opened, and a loud noise came,

But not from me

I could have gotten her to move;

I tried to scream, but it was too late

She glanced behind her at her fate

And in the blink of an eye,

My heart was gone

I'm Grace Denney, I'm a senior in high school, and I wrote this prose piece for no particular reason at all. The idea kinda just hit me. People told me it was good, so here I am.
