#WritcoRapidPrompt1
Write a short story from your past that involves light or darkness in some way.
If the sands of time have taught me anything,then it's that hope is lost and love is gone.
I remembered the lies people would chant in my ears about love, being the ultimate weapon against the forces of darkness.
I had a reality check a long time ago,which opened my eyes,and widened my perspective on the issue of love.
In the past,I was seen as overbearing and overly involved.
I had learnt to place others above myself,not catering for my own needs.
I only wished to serve others.
At first,it worked out,everything always seems to work out fine at the beginning.
Things were working out just right.
Till slowly,things took a sharp turn,leaving me desolate.
The people I slaved so hard to please, became the reason for my sadness.
They cause my smile to fade away,they caused me pain,hurt,bitterness.
Betrayal became my watch word,it bred a darkness in me,which I never knew I had inside.
The ones who I thought loved me to the moon and back,were all leaches.
The sincerity I saw in their eyes was all a fasade.
Things came crashing down in a matter of minutes.
It dawned on me how quickly things could change,and how fast the tables could turn on a person.
Beneath every smile lies a hidden alterior motive.
Behind every warm gesture lies a deadly venom.
The hole in my heart enlarged,blocking out any space for emotions.
I too joined their party of destruction.
Welcoming the new change in me,the change I never imagined I would embrace so naturally.
All this resulting from my loved ones exploiting me,and using me as a commodity.
They sold me off,and sent me away,far away,on a cold ship, to an unknown destination.
My hopes killed,my love lost.
My heart only had room for hate,and plenty of it.
Darkness truly is a shadow of light,it hides behinds it,and follows it everywhere.
