My next entry for Miranda Kate’s Mid Week Flash challenge, week 5 the General Guidelines for which are here.
This week’s prompt photo was created by Marcela Bolivar, a digital artist from Columbia. You can check out some of her other wonderful creations on her website here.
You are my heart
Once, I am sure, I was complete. A whole, living, breathing being. I used to taste food, feel music. I used to be alive.
Then along he came. He filled me so completely, there was no room for anything else. Where once I held passion for art and dancing, good company and good movies, now there was only him. I lived him, breathed him, he didn’t just hold my heart, he was my heart. I didn’t mind, I didn’t miss any of it. I didn’t need any of it, he fulfilled me completely.
And now he has gone, and I am a shell. I eat without tasting, I go through the motions of social interaction without engaging. I stare at screens without taking anything in. I exist without living.
All that’s left of me is the ghost of him, as intangible as a rippling reflection on a midnight pool.

I also never read entries until I have written for them. I do like this, a slightly different angle. And I love that last line.
Thanks for joining in.
