Ashes

He was nothing of fancy words.
Her twin in fact, that many would tell her - What that drew her to him.
His face was of nonchalance on the outside.
Deep in was what felt like loneliness to her, stories of his mostly left untold.
Like herself, she thought he was hard to comprehend, as cold as ice could be, fragile like glass though.
Was she reading too deep? Was she living in self deniability? Questions left unanswered.
His 6 years more of knowledge was but of magnetic attraction than the opposite.
Beautiful he was in alls eye, full of admiration from all corners was himself.
The girl on the other hand though, was nothing of brilliance or beauty.

The girl with such nonchalance like himself, longed for love.
How long? She didn't know.
Finally came Prince Charming.
How delighted she was of course, oh how much she brightened up!
How filled with hope that ran deep in her blood was what she felt by just Prince Charming himself.

Just like a game of attraction, he held the glances long enough for her to indulge in it.
But only looks and expressions though, nothing more.
It was not fair was it.
For she did not know the rules of this game.
The silence given every day for months, seeps into her.
Nightmares comes thereafter and still creeps back every night.
Ache radiated from every inch of her that even strangers could feel with just a look into her eyes.
How hard she tried to scramble for her numbness that evaded her..
Oh who to blame for the pain but the girl with 6 years lesser of knowledge.

Like the wind that carries all away, Prince Charming had to disappear now.
It would be like as if he never existed at all.
