She walked home in the dark. Only her feet were bare, but she felt totally naked. The full moon shone high overhead, and the stars glistened in the sky like the tears in her eyes. She tried to keep her chin up, but she was cold and tired and scared, and she shivered with the wind.
What she really wanted was to be safe in the arms of someone she loved. She wanted to hear sweet, soft words of reassurance whispered into her ear. She wanted gentle kisses to cover her skin and make her warm once again.
Instead she walked home in the dark, feeling naked and alone.
