The Color of the Sky

"What do I have left?

Without you, I am nothing

Without you, I am a soulless body

I am nothing

And even as I sit here

On a park bench

Staring out over the lake

I find no beauty where it once had been

THe trees, the flowers

And even the moon

I have no love in my heart for them

None

And all they do is exist

The fish swim

Birds fly

And I find nothing at all

To sing and dance about

And even as the sun sets

I find nothing gorgious

About the most beautiful

Of all the beauty in the world

The colored sky"

Serena set her pencil down as she stared out over the lake at the sunset. A lone tear ran down her cheek.

"Why, Darien?" She whispered. "Why do you not love me anymore!?!"

She stood up as more tears fell from her eyes and ran out of the park. In her place, a paper fluttered to the ground...

...Darien walked up and picked the paper Serena had dropped up. He read it once. Twice. A third time and a tear ran down his cheek as well.

"Oh, GOD! What have I done..." He whispered.
