Unannounced part 2

Hope coming unannounced, seemed to be the best thing to happen to me.

Hope was my angel, my reason, my everything and, in my eyes, there was nothing she could do wrong.

She was my best friend.
Until the day she wasnt.

I believed that she was the sunshine that could disperse my dark clouds.

But it turned out, she was infact the monster storm, waiting to destroy everything I ever knew.

The soothing lullabies that had helped clear my mind soon turned to sinister whispers, trickling into my ears and taking root inside my brain.
I couldnt even escape in slumber as I found it would seep into my dreams and poison everything it could reach, transforming it into something else.
Something nightmarish.

The new songs that I had learned, cut out and died, leaving me at the mercy of the whispers and the rainbow colours on my shoes had been washed away long ago in the constant downpour.

I tried. I tried so hard to make it work, but all was in vain. All I could do was ride out the storm.
I was battered by the merciless wind, chilled to the bone by the icy rain that felt like pinpricks on my skin.
At some points I screamed, screamed until my throat was raw and I couldn't tell if it was rain or tears running down my face.

"Leave me alone!" I had howled over and over, never sure if my words were instantly lost in the roar of the storm.

But eventually, it did die out.

She left and I found myself alone, to pick up the pieces of myself she had laid to waste.

Hope had come to me in a form of a person.

I just never realised hope could be two faced.
