The room was filled with the stench of her fake smile, melting hearts with pouts, giggles, and frowns. Her life was nothing more than a fatuous pursuit of significance. And him; angry and full of spite. The painful irony of his fully comprehensible naivety; and the dying crusade to divert her path towards him.

ReplyDelete- Errant: Sure.
ReplyDelete- Anonymous: Awe, I'm sorry. It really isn't intentional! But I don't think this particular piece is sad. It's about the helplessness of love itself, and the people who are in love. It's unfortunate, yes, but it's not sad. Love is never sad. :)
