I said to her,”embrace the darkness, for it is all you have now” as she entered these hollow doors of remorse and misery. I walked her through the cruel arms of the asylum for I had been there for oh so long, it was my only home, I saw the vacancy in her eyes, I could tell she used ot be joyful, loving, full of hope, but that was no longer in her grey eyes, they were now stained with horror and betrayal, and it would never be the same.
She barely talked, wouldn’t tell me what happened, why she was sent here, or anything about herself; I was surprised when she even told me her name, Cecelia.
