coyote_walkingMercy's standing still, obviously lost in a memory. At first she's smiling and one can almost imagine they could see the man she's kissing. Then there's embarrassment and then a long quiet moment where her expression shifts through humiliation into utter despair. After a minute she sinks down into a chair and buries her face in her hands.

But it's an old hurt.
Just made fresh again.
It will - it will fade.

Date: Friday, December 2nd, 2011 04:19 am (UTC)I lived it again. 16 years old going from complete happiness to utter despair and humiliation.
A big part of my world ended that day. I lost the man I truly loved and the only home I'd ever known, all in one moment.
God, I am forever late on everything ;;
Date: Thursday, December 1st, 2011 08:34 pm (UTC)Hey...everything okay?
*Hugs you* Play when you can, tag forever if you want. *hugs more*
Date: Thursday, December 1st, 2011 09:42 pm (UTC)Can you just hold me for a minute?
*Hugs back* ;;

Date: Friday, December 2nd, 2011 04:02 am (UTC)Is it so bad that I want to belong somewhere?

Want to talk about it?

Date: Monday, December 5th, 2011 01:41 pm (UTC)Her voice is quiet, still thick with tears.
He was my friend and my protector and he said he wanted to marry me, but it turned out he didn't love me.
I lost him and my home and everything, all in one moment.

No one should lie about feelings like those.

Date: Thursday, December 8th, 2011 03:18 pm (UTC)She wasn't moving away from him at all, taking comfort from his arms around her.
But that was so - I was right there, living it again. Sixteen years old, still grieving the deaths of my foster parents.
Samuel made me feel safe and happy and loved and then - it was just all gone and I even had to leave the only home I knew.
She was silent for a moment.
It was so real.

[He places a light kiss to her forehead.]

Date: Friday, December 9th, 2011 01:49 pm (UTC)Sorry I'm being such a wimp.
[And then her voice got very quiet.]
And I'm glad you've got me.

Date: Sunday, December 11th, 2011 07:35 pm (UTC)Believe it or not, I can understand.
[He pulls away enough to look her in the eye and brings one of his hands around to her cheek.]
As long as I can be, I'll be here for you.
