Sharp blades of wind punctured my naked arms like tiny needles, invading my veins with syringes of icy wind. Despite the gentle golden warmth that fluttered in my heart at tonight’s event, I shivered violently, feeling hills of goose bump raising up on new spring seeds.
‘Is worth it’ I chanted to myself silently, gritting my teeth against the cold as I made my way across the road. Tonight, where everything would come full circle, tonight, the night when he’d finally fulfil a promise made in bygone times.
How disquieting it is, how everything merges into that Sirius just of one, tiny little word. Shouldn’t we be more cautious?
The large, double-storey white house was surprisingly hot and sultry in the chill. Of course, the fact that it was packed with teenagers gyrating against each other, loud, cheap punk music blasting through the walls like a volcano erupting. Wrinkling my nose in disgust, I stumbled through the myriad of people and into the empty backyard. Our meeting point.
For the first five minutes, I waited with the gentle golden warmth still glowing inside my chest like a balloon. He will come, won’t he?
Then ten minute arrived with the solitude of an icicle, suspending in mid-air. The warmth leeched from me like needles drawing blood….
I’m bleeding
I’m bleeding
Who knew waiting could be a heartbroken promise, a heartbroken handshake that shook me like a limp doll and left me on the hard, cold ground.
The hour arrived with the dull, hollowed cold of an abandoned room.
He never came.
And it was then; I felt the first chill of winter as heaven emptied out its freezer, engraving a broken snowflake that scarred my heart.
