The Yearning
She stands upon this jagged cliff looking out onto the horizon awaiting the morning sun. The sea below her creates the sounds of thunder as the waves come crashing into the rocks. Memories flood through her mind like pages in a old book being turned faster and faster. She sees her life has no meaning, no purpose without his burning love which he bestows on her. She longs for the day that they may be together to share their love and life for eternity and beyond. Sometimes she fears that the day will never come. She looks back on her past seeing the pages turn through her life, seeing the loneliness that has only brought her sorrow till he came along. Memories show her life day in and day out as she hides behind a false smile. She watches others around her that find true happiness as she wishes to find it with you. She lets memories show her that now is not the time. Fate has dealt her cards and those cards are with others that we are to love, but our love is for each other. She closes her eyes to the memories that flash before her mind. She feels the wind from the sea against her skin, wrapping around her like a blanket of ice. She tries to shake away the memories from her mind as blood tears begin to fall from her already swollen face. She cries out, feeling the heart that beats in her chest bleed for his love. She twirls in her fingers a single black rose, the thorns piercing deep into the flesh of her palm, coating the petals with her blood. Time passes slowly as she waits. The edge of night clings to the horizon not wanting the mornings sun to awake a new day and kiss the morning dew. She feels a gentle rain fall upon her pale skin as she steps closer to the edge of the cliff. She lets the blood coated rose slip from her fingers into the sea below, watching as the waves sweep it up in it's grip and carries it out to sea. She places a hand over her breast the other at her side, unable to control the tears that flow heavily from her eyes. She is unaware of a presence by her side that slips a tender hand into her bleeding hand that onced possessed the rose. She feels the fingers grip her own locking their fingers together tight. She feels the presence join with her mind, feeling her pain and love. Turning she raises her eyes towards the hands that are now joined. She looks first at the fingers, moving her gaze further up the arm towards a shoulder and then into the blue eyes of her true love. She knows that he has come for her. No longer will she suffer through endless days of nights of loneliness for he has come. He looks towards the sea, seeing the red glow of the sun rising from it's sleep to take it's place in the morning sky. With one swift movement she is lifted up into his arms, pulling her close as she wraps his cloak around her frozen body. She sees in his heart that he has come to claim his love to her. She reads in his mind that the love he carries in his heart is only for her. She knows that he reads in her mind that her love is only for him. They will be together for eternity and their love will be forever written in the books of time.
