Dreamless night!

And she fell asleep after midnight. Soaked in her own tears. Despair all over her face. Her lips pressed together in the hardest line. She lay motionless. Breathing against her will. It was a dreamless night, what was left of it. There was no wound but the pain was excruciating. Unbearable every second.
 But she could not sleep forever. She had to wake up. Life stood still on the door step and the time swayed silently. Any minute now, the alarm would go on and she would be up.
 And she would have to go by her routine. Any minute now. Birds started to chirp and light hit the glass. Her heart still shadowed. She was writhing again. Shouting for relief but no sound echoed. Just the chirp. Alarm woke her up, but her cries were all that she could hear. She sat up, all hopes abandoned now. Hold on pain ends, she enchanted and bravely put on a smile and got herself ready to step out and embrace life,  ignoring her bleeding heart.
