For an eternity
I swam alone
In shallow waters…
In wilderness,
Making splashes
As I went…
Or rode the winds,
Touched the clouds,
Raced the Sun…
Now I walk the streets
For the rest of forever.
Now I wonder…
If I should’ve
Done it together
With you
When I still had a chance…

Looking at the mirror, she wondered what she had done to deserve the fate. People were petrified when they first looked at her, averted their eyes and avoided her the best they could.
Even a monster deserved love; but she would always be alone and that made her angry and murderous…
The rising Sun in the horizon made me ache.
It was such a beautiful day with no one to share.
I wondered if I would have noticed the colours
Had you never happened.
You brought beauty to my life and also the pain.
