Something went wrong when the hourglass turned around...
She had in her heart, a fire without flames
She hadn't flared up
She wasn't burned
She lost her soul at the hourglass broke
Everything that was good about her had evaporated
All that was wrong in her had evaporated
All that was left was nameless emptiness
Nothing bad, nothing good, nothing at all
She was what no longer is
Her time was up before it even started
Her body tied to the shore of death
Like a forgotten object, no one came to claim it
Her lungs were full, full of everything but air
She didn't drown
Her body had never drifted
She was more than dead
Her heart was starting to scatter
She couldn't be saved, neither by water nor by flames
The hourglass had burst
Her soul is probably lost forever
She will never be found
Her body, completely submerged,
She wasn't buried
Between two graves, even there she could not rest
She had lost her soul, how to find it?
Was she death of a heartbreak?
Is'nt it the most violent death?
An angel with black wings approached fragments of her heart,
To glue it back together, she had to found another hourglass
She put all the pieces of her heart back in a new hourglass
With a wonderfull magic
That's not how humans get reincarnated usually.
That one exploded through the universe until she got found,
No matter how scattered her heart was,
No matter how gentle or violent the death was,
Usually human are reincarneted
The angel gived her another eternity to live,
Trapped in a new hourglass
The angel thought out loud:
Was she death of a heartbreak?
What if death had forgotten to kill her?
No matter what, she had never seen a soul that far of an hourglass.
Maybe next time, the hourglass will turn around without any damage and she will live again, like most human when they reincarne.
She died of a heartbreak.
Is'nt it the most violent death?

Excellent. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful read. It definitely has a place and describes many people, including myself, in today's time and place. Hope you and all of us suffering in this limbo, will get out of it soon. Cheers and looking forward to some more of your works ^^.
This was beautifully written. Such captivating sentences with ethereal tones! Loved it!
I love that at the epicenter of this writing there is such truth, shrouded in surrealism! Beautiful work!
