100 Lyrics into Stories — No30
Lina’s heart felt like it had no place to call its own.
Oh, there were fancies, fixations, and follies. But love was a stranger every single time, her reflection staring back at her until she closed her eyes and wondered what the hell was wrong with her that everyone always walked away.
There was no one out there ever to take her by the hand and say, “It’s going to be all right.”
She was always the one holding out the hand to someone else.
It would have been a relief not to be the one always reaching out, desperate.
This is my third take on the 100 Story Challenge! Lyrics define these stories, and this piece‘s title was inspired by “Fade Into You” from Mazzy Star.
