The leaves rustled under her feet,the wind softly sailed and danced through her hair as the trees swayed gently... she only walked away from life.
She heard the trees whisper to each other but took no notice.
She was exhausted and her feet throbbed; She stopped under a huge old tree and looked up at heavens above and cursed it. "What happened child ?" asked the tree as it swayed in the wind. She didn't answer but still glared at the heavens.
"Where are you going ? " the tree asked again but did not get an answer because the girl had closed her eyes and she stood still .
"What happened child..?" the tree asked once again. "He's gone..he's gone.." she replied in a voice void of life. "He'll come back.." the tree comforted her.
"no..! h-he-h--he's g-g-gone.forever..he left me". The tree looked puzzled and said "He will come back". She lifted her gaze to the tree and said " He's dead". The tree didn't know what to say,it had never seen anyone in so much pain..
It pierced her heart,the sudden pain was unbearable,it shook her. Those two words hit her so hard,knocking the breathe out of her as she feel to her knees. She couldn't take it any more. She couldn't stand it any more..
While she wept silently, she thanked the heavens for the rain which drenched her; Little did she know that it wasn't the comforting rain by the heavens but the tears of the tree which bent down to protect her as her heart beat for the last time..
