23. Teardrops on her Guitar ;

For the 37th time that week , she lost her guitar pick .
Frustrated , annoyed , and desperate , she slammed her guitar down , the old brown guitar pegs complaining in sharp creaks .
Screw all these , she thought .
Things weren't going well for her . She wasn't the brightest kid in school , she wasn't the prettiest , nor the most popular .
And now she can't even find a tiny guitar pick .
She winced , as a guitar string snapped , leaving a bloody red slash on her index finger .
A silent drop of tear rolled down her porcelain cheek , dripping off her chin , and falling onto her self-designed guitar .
She brought her hand to her face , and hastily wiped the trails of tears away from her face , smearing her face with salty tears and blood .
She knew , her heart was bleeding as well , just like her finger .
She knew , her heart was tearing as well , just like her .
And she knew , tears can be wiped off and cuts can be healed , but her heart will remain torn .
He once told her that she was awesome , because she knew how to play the acoustic guitar .
And she once told him , that any guy that could play an instrument , was wonderful .
She meant what she said .
But she wasn't sure of whether he meant what he said .
She once promised to play a song for him at the beach .
Although she didn't tell him , because she wanted to make it a surprise .
But blissful periods were short .
Before she could even strum one note for him , he left her .
Silent , unknowingly , but yet , painful .
Blood from her finger trickled down , seeping through the guitar sash and her bedsheets .
She wondered whether he would even bother about her now .
And she guessed , he wouldn't .
With her shoulders slumped in depression , she picked up her guitar carefully and gently strummed the remaining strings .
They sounded solemn and stale , with no expressions .
Another drop of tear fell onto her guitar .
She knew they were impossible , she knew he wouldn't be back .
But she hopes , she dreams , and she imagines .
This adds on to more pain , more struggles , and more heartbreaks .
Seeing him so happy , so carefree , she feels happy for him , yet sad for herself .
She wonders how he can be so happy while she's going through such a difficult period .
She wonders why he cannot be with her , accompanying her through this time .
She wonders what she did wrong .
She wonders why he's doing this .
She wonders what would happen if time could rewind .
Thank you for the times , the memories .
