Empty

Aleksandra

There she does it again.

She tries to hide. She fakes her smile more than the words from her lips. She promises to be fine, but all that I can see and hear is her sadness. The well she dug was briming to the top, and I just knew that it would eventually flood her eyes sooner than later.

I look at the two in front of me, understanding in their eyes, for they too felt the heaviness in her heart. "Is she going to be okay?" Liam looks at the corner she disappeared into and I can't help but shake my head.

"I don't know." And I truly didn't.

I just hope that some time off from this hectic life of hers will bring some peace to her mind or even better leave it all empty. I miss my friend who laughed louder when in pain but even more so when sad. Regardless, she looked forward to each day. But now it was as if she was afraid of tomorrow.

And this was not her.
