Cold




There was once a girl who was born with a void inside her. As she grew up, she tried to fill it with people, things and places. But the harder she tried, the bigger it grew. Until she gave up and tried to build her life around it. It wasn't easy, but on some days she could pretend that it didn't exist and get on with her life. And that was when he entered her life. He filled up the void with an emotion she hadn't experienced before. For the first time in her life, she felt she was finally going to be all right. But when he decided that she was too much baggage for him to handle, he left, taking with him all that he gave her and then some more. When he left, he took a part of her with him too. The void grew, a gaping hole in the centre of her being. A hole where her heart was supposed to be. A numbness in her soul. They called her cold after that. Emotionless. A cold blooded bitch. But she knew that anything, anything was better than being labeled a fool of love.

  1. What a sad and solemn piece. Sometimes people change as well as love, but life must go on.

  2. It's horrible to see people change! It's better to not be in love than be deceived.

  4. I don't think one should stop living because of failed love. Why depend on anyone for happiness?Poignant write.

  5. You never know how a person's loving and leaving can affect us. Only the person that has been loved and left can know. A well written piece.
