My Tormentor
After a minute or two of silence, she begins to hum the tune of You Are My Sunshine.
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine... you make me happy when skies are grey... you'll never know, dear, how much I love you... please, don't take my sunshine away..."
I feel her slipping away, my heart feels numb.
She giggles, "What? You don't like it? I can sing something else... hm... let's see..."
I tried telling her it's fine, but I can't gather the words. I'm numb, petrified that my voice would shatter any sense of peace that I'm holding together. I shake my head but she chooses to change it anyways.
