Deeply Broken

The torture was meant to break her, but it was the truth that made her heart bleed.

She left this world believing she wasn't my everything.

It's the thought that echoes in my mind as I fall to my knees, stunned. I never got to tell her the truth before she was taken. I never got to tell her I hadn't knowingly betrayed her, that I still loved her. Now I'm staring at the image of her gone, her tangled brown hair fanned around her face, lifeless, replaying the words she whispered in her final breath. Because they'll never belong to me. They belong to the man she grew to love instead. He's slumped beside me, and the only thing that keeps us both from completely crumbling is the promise of finding her killer and making him pay.
