She Felt None

---------------

Pitter patter.
All she heard was the rain.
Tumbling down the windows, was rain.
The heavens were crying,
The children were weeping.
The heart felt none.

Brrrmmm.
The low rumble of the thunder.
Roaring across the skies, was thunder.
The heavens were raging,
The humans were mourning.
The heart felt none.

Shhhh.
The rapid movement of the lightning.
Streaking across the skies, was lightning.
The heavens were striking,
The earth was screaming.
The heart felt none.

I felt nothing.
I thought I felt something.
It was silent.

Silent.
So quiet, ever so quiet.

It got louder.
The silence got louder.
It screeched in my ears,
A neverending sound of agony and pain,
Its dark blackness consuming my soul.

I ran, and ran.
I ran, and ran.
The silence never left me.

Without a heart.
Without a soul.
I could neither feel nor touch.
Without a life.
Without a conscience.
This was the price I paid for.

A heartless being.
My one fate.
My true destiny.

I would feel better without a heart.
