The tears didn't fall,

Instead drifted around her in wiggling orbs.

Cold. Empty.

Lost.

She was in darkness.

Her eyes squeezed shut,

Choking her sadness.

No.

She couldn't breath.

She couldn't move.

Heck, she could hardly think.

Ow.

There it was again.

The pain, on the left side of her chest.

She wished she wasn't so afraid.

That there wasn't a reason to fear.

Then, something on her cheek.

Fingers brushing her lashes,

Someone.

Her eyes opened,

But there was only darkness.

I'm here, her heart screamed.

She embraced.

It wasn't someone she knew,

She didn't think.

Small, weak, trembling.

Just like her.

It was so beautiful,

In a place so dark,

So she cried harder.

Someone.

She was alone,

But someone was here.

It didn't matter who they were.

Loneliness is a horrible thing.

She wasn't safe.

She wasn'y happy.

She wasn't free.

She still had nothing.

But now someone was here,

And they were alone together.
