consumed.
no, it wasn't how i felt but how she felt.
i could see it in her eyes.
she didn't have to say anything but you don't have to if you know someone's eyes the way I knew hers
she could never speak another word and her eyes would tell me all
they no longer sparkled but were consumed by something of a wrong choice
not something she wanted but something she felt she needed
she thought that it didn't matter because she would only be consumed more
"hold on", i said
"i'm slipping", said her eyes
i didn't want her to fall but she fell
she fell long and hard but she fell into grace
and even thought she didn't see it when she fell, she felt the grace surround her and bubble up in her throat
forgiveness.
that's what she felt.
and the sparkle came back and she danced her dance again
although she never said anything, you could see it in her eyes that everything would be alright.
