The pain is far too exhausting to live with. She just wants the darkness to make it all go away.
She gives, and gives, and gives until she has nothing left of herself anymore. With every break it becomes increasingly more difficult to pick up the shattered pieces to make her heart whole again.

"She was always going to jump into this lake, no matter how dark or dangerous it turned out to be she was too intrigued by its shimmering surface to even consider turning away. Sure, he doesn't ever reciprocate her giving nature but he does take, take, take.time and time again. Sure, he sometimes vanishes for weeks at a time. Sure, he doesn't always return her texts.

"Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness.
