She peers into the oval mirror that hangs above the old marble sink. The dripping of water droplets echoes periodically through the room and the cold floor causes shivers to run up the length of her body. She is alone.
Her shaggy hair falls across her eyes, but you can still see where the tears have fallen, tears tainted with black eyeliner. A little sun streams through the small window in the corner catching a glint off the object held in her right hand, pain.
She stares into the mirror with utter distaste, her pale skin looking almost ghostly in contrast to her raven black locks. She looks down at her right hand holding the object in a clear light, pain, blessed pain.
She said she would stop, she promised him…but he doesn’t understand. He would never understand. How could he? “Why did I let him in? She thought as she turned the razor over and over in her right hand, “He doesn’t deserve to have my problems waved before his face…his gorgeous caring face. His life is so perfect it doesn’t need to be tainted by my pathetic example of life.”
Slowly she pulls back the fabric of her long sleeve shirt reveling scars etched into her left arm. It had been a while since she had last cut and most of them had healed leaving behind long white scratch marks.
She had tired so hard for him, but it was too much for her to handle now, just too much. She had to let the pain out and this was the only way she knew how.
More tears form in her eyes blurring her vision. “I’m sorry” She whispers as she rests the cold blade on the soft ivory skin of her left arm.
