Fear

Her heart beats with pain. With little to no hope. Darkness shines through and covers the light. Will nothing get her light back? She's worried that she will fall again.

Falling into the darkness. Her body is frozen, her voice, not to be heard. her movements are none. She watches her whole life flash before her eyes. Like a movie...or organized dance routine.

Every beat, every breath, every second, every moment. It all flies by. She wonders what she did wrong, if she even did anything at all.

When it all comes down to it, when she realizes what's acually wrong...

Fear.

Fear because anything could go wrong. She could blink and it could all go away. She can't breath. Her blood runs cold, her breathing becomes more labored. Nobody is there for her anymore.

Every happy moment, every laugh, every smile, every kiss, every hug, every loving word...it all dissapears.

When she's hit rock botom, she realized that she can't get it back.

When she goes to sleep at night, she dreams. The darkness is still there. But she see's a glimmer of light in the dark.

She looks at the shadow. Barely seeing it as she finally allows herself to smile. Her vocal cords finally work as she whispers the name in the shadows. The name that's always been her rock...The name that will chase away all the darkness and hold her throughout the night.

"Mark..."
