I float around a dark room, confusion eating away at my mind

 

My breath quickens as I attempt to perceive the reason for my sudden appearance in this

 

   Dark                        Empty                 Abyss . . .                      

                                                                           

                                           THERE!     

 

My eyes quickly glare at the undefined silhouette

  

  'A girl', I breathed out to myself startled

 

I quickly drift towards her confused

                                                                   scared. . .

 

Once closer, a dim light slowly fades upon the girl,

   

 like an opening to an old romantic film.

 

The girl appears black and white, curled up in a ball, 

 

 her face remains plain, but her eyes show

   

      loneliness                    sorrow  and. . .

                                                                            fear   

 

I feel pity and without knowing it, I and her become one

 

 Feelings crash against my chest in an agonizing way 

 

  causing me to grit my teeth in pain, tears escaping their prison walls

 

The pain becomes too much to bear causing me to 

                 

                                     let                                      go

 

My eyes slowly shut in an attempt to release myself from these painful binds when . .

                                                     

                                                        THERE!   

 

A brightness shines through the curtain of my eyelids causing me to open them in shock

  

 Flashbacks appear full of an array of color

           

 smiles                      laughter

                                                                         LOVE

 

       Their Smiles             Their Laughs           Their Warmth

 

The joyous memories consume me in a sudden warmth

 

  The time spent with them replaces the harm that once ate away at my mind

 

My eyes once again start to water, but for a different purpose

  

 My eyes start to shift into ones filled with 

   

                       Hope                           Joyfulness and. . .

                                                                                             Courageousness,

 

The room once dark now brightens up like the smile graced upon my lips

  

 and in a quick blink, 

                                                         

                                                          I Waken
