The Lesson

"Teach me not to care" she screamed as his hands closed in around her throat.

She was lost.  Mislead by her own mind which convinced herself she could find her way. Her love could conquer the impossible. They could achieve the fairy tale ending. Pain flooded her body. Her puffy eyes long since ran out of tears, but her heart cried endlessly.

"Teach me not to care" she begged. His hands began gripping her throat.

She once gave away directions when lost that helped light a path to awaken his soul. Desperately she reached back into the corner of her mind to find them. Sinking further into pain she realized the directions she once provided was pieces of herself as the beacon to save him.
She had no savior.

"Teach me not to care" she gasped as his hands tightened their grip.

Everything he had accused her of was the exact pain he was actually bestowing upon her. She realized he was so much darker now. When had he given up on the light they shared? The betrayal overcame her. She struggled to prioritize and make sense of her own thoughts and emotions. Losing each time as the tornado of confusion embodied her. The one she loved carelessly ripped her inner peace from her and walked away.

"T...ch mmm..... not to ca....re" she choked. A twisted smile crossed his face as her body became limp.
