I remember those words from the vet when my dog broke her leg.
"It's a clean break. Hardly any damage."
I continue to stumble through the forest, my breathe ragged, and I look up at the broken patches of stars through the emerald canopy that was the decidous forest. I suddenly hear leaves shuffling and I resume running from my hunters- those hunters being the people of the village and reality.
Strange. I look down at my arms and legs and see several tears in the fabrics of my pants and shirt, and several deep and bloody gashes in my skin. But I don't feel them. As if all my feeling and emotion had gone away with her...strange.
A clean break.
Ha. The Divine Comedy, of a breakup of epic proportions could cause little to no damage. Ha. I needed her.
Hardly any damage.
The biggest lie yet, my torn and ragged heart would tell you. I felt as though I was sick, and the months flew by in seconds. I lost all my friends- but I didn't care. All I cared about was for her- her sweet smile, her violently pink hair, her wide brown eyes- She was my cognac, my brandy, my rum. My sweet apple pie. My best friend.
Someone breaks through the trees ahead of me and pins me to the forest floor.
