The Infinite Path - Isla Rowney
The Infinite Path
By Isla Rowney
6th Grade
Her loving embrace was an invitation to console me in my times of need. With
perfect, sparkling white teeth, Reese's lovely smile brought a sense of jubilation to my dull
life. A bubbly and exuberant laugh, guaranteed to make you grin. Lips, plump and
voluptuous brushed past mine as my thumb delicately caressed her mouth. Walking
under the glistening sun and vivid blue skies, hand in hand, her airy laugh filled the
atmosphere with joy as the distant roar of an engine rapidly accelerated towards us. A
fretful feeling boiled in my stomach as the vehicle came into view, coming closer, until it
became too late and veered off of the road, aiming for her. Grief claws at my heart,
thriving off of my sorrow, where dents and scars are etched. Why am I still alive if I have
nothing to live for? Endless days pass, my life void of blissful events envisioned in our
future, yet I cease to accept that she, the one I devoted my existence to, is gone.
“Grief claws at my heart, thriving off of my sorrow,
where dents and scars are etched.”
