Aching hearts: the sunsets




The gaity of the orange swallowed the mellowness of the yellow , with a satisfying slurp and the sky turned a deeper shade of tangerine .The birds that were late on their journey back home, pushed their wings against the gravity of their tired bodies, soaring higher on the dying sky.Some,which had been left behind by the flock ,screeched through the green gardens of a small suburb in the outskirts of the city ,anxious to find their fellows .While their voices echoed through the walls of the atmosphere, there sat a girl near by, whose heart screeched even more; the tall, green trees in the garden; had hidden her from any passerbye's view ,invain; for there was no one to be seen within a few kilometers of the grounds.So the girl sat all alone with her head on her knees ,her eyes shut tightly as if she was afraid of opening them ,her forehead creased with lines tense with emotions incomprehensible .While the night enveloped the light of yet another day ,she was enveloped in the torment of her aching heart .Slowly she opened her eyes as the day closed its own .Her eyes showed nothing of her agony not even a glimpse of what her heart withheld ; for it was nothing but a strange yearning her heart contained ,a desire so strong that it had swallowed her entire being ,so she rubbed her heels aggressively against the cold metal bench and rocked her self back and forth trying to keep up pace with the upheavel her heart breathed .Still, she was unable to keep up with her racing heart, for it ached , roared ,ran through alley ways in scorching suns;for it bled ; was wounded, tired , hopeless and helpless; but still yearned for something or perhaps someone she couldnot put a face or even a name to .For the subject of her yearning heart was unknown she cried with dry dead eyes ; she screeched voiceless till her throat was all raw and scarred ;for her heart yearned ;for her heart ached for something that was in reality 'nothing'.

p.s. I have started writing after a long hiatus ,i hope i improve each day.
