raider


When her eyes glittered with crystalline tears, his own eyes were dry as he pretended not to be the reason she was crying. When she fell into the chasm, his arms were not long enough to reach her. When her chest almost stopped rising and her breath almost stopped flowing, he was gone, long distances away. She was left, counting the times he'd let her down.

and now he's back, and asking to stay,
but she knows she can't let the same
person who broke down the walls of
her heart in again, because her soul
is just barely patched now, and
she has found somebody else
who wants to make her feel whole
once more, and she cannot tear 
down the gates she's just built
to let a raider in.
