It's Back

It's back. It hangs over Her head like a black cloud. It scares Her.
She doesn't know why it's here or how to make it go away. She feels like the walls are closing in on Her. She just wants to leave but She has nowhere to go. But then She hears the phone ring. She answers it with tears streaming down Her face. She hears the deep voice of Him. The only one who cares and understands. The tears stop and She smiles. It’s not as good as feeling His warm embrace, but it helps. She knows He’s just as scared, but at least they’re scared together. She dries up the tears as She giggles. He always knows how to make Her laugh, and take Her mind off the black thing. She knows it’s still there, but it’s shrinking. He tells her He misses Her, She tells him She misses Him too. He says something silly and She giggles again. They both smile. The black thing starts backing away. The more they talk the more the black thing sees the bond between them. It sees that nothing can break these two people apart. It sees that they need each other. It sees the love they share. And it knows it can’t get between them.  As much as it wants to devour Her in all its darkness, it knows that it can’t. Because He won’t let it. He won’t ever let anything happen to Her. Because if She is broken, so is He. The black thing keeps shrinking, and shrinking, and shrinking… until it’s finally gone. They both look up and see the sun. He looks at Her and says “See? I told you so.” She turns to Him and smiles She knows it will be back, but when it does… they’ll be ready.

    If this was prose, it felt a little weird. If it was poetry, I think you need to space it out or break it up. I did like the theme, and thought that it was well written. Excellent write and good luck in my contest.
