Secret Diary Entry I: Inner Turmoil

in


Dear Diary,


It is not my wont to write down my thoughts nor deeds. Things are best left undocumented my mentor always taught me. Leave no evidence. Yet I feel the need to unburden myself. This is the only method I have available to me. I have no friends to whom I might confess my feelings or thoughts. Yet they are too heavy for me to keep inside myself. I must purge myself so that I can continue with the plans and arrangements for the ball that I will hold in just a few weeks. What is this all about you ask? A man of course, what else?


In spite of the lessons my mentor taught me; be selfsufficient, never rely on another, keep them at a distance, never reveal your secrets; I found myself trusting this man. More than that, I fell head over heels in love with him. It was the worst thing that could happen. I knew it, yet I could not stop it.


And now, my world is shattered. He has left me. The one whom I trusted. The one whom I thought was my companion, my soulmate. I miss him even as I write these words. One day all was fine, the next, a cold shoulder, barely a word... only enough words to let me know any previous words spoken to me were empty, meaningless. Lies in fact. I had believed the lies though; I gave him my heart and my body, he gave me a necklace and in spite of the meaning jewellery has for me, I wore it and was happy for a while. The very briefest of whiles. But now it is ended it seems, so soon and barely had it begun. I just don't understand what it is I did wrong. Yet his actions and words told me it was my fault.


I saw him the other night at the Pony. Not a word, not a look was exchanged. The emptiness inside me brought on by his coldness is overwhelming. It is as if I am a child again and Hayden once again is torn from me. But it will not be seen. I refuse to break. I -will- not.
