Story Inspired by Picture:

EVERY BOY IS THE SAME

She never could understand why music and love were intertwined in her life. It was as if the key to her heart, was for a boy to like the same music as her; play her tunes from the guitar or seduce her with notes from the piano.

There was a boy that managed to win her heart by doing all these things. He made her mixtapes of songs she never listened to before. He brought her to gigs of the bands she loved. He held her waist as the band she loved played the one song that she felt meant that they were forever.

Yet inevitably, this boy turned out to be like every other boy she knew. There was nothing special about him at the end of the day. He was not different from the other boys. Boys seduce you into falling for them with their music tastes, sweet meaningless words and false promises. He was no different.

Inevitably, he ripped her heart out of her body, stomped on it and ran away.

She still stands still at the same position, wondering what the hell happened. She can’t feel music the same way anymore. She can’t feel love the same way anymore. She can’t feel passion the same way anymore.

He ripped her heart out of her body.

He devoured her soul, digested it and eventually, forgot all about it.

He stole her beauty from her.

What is left is just a fragment of what she used to be.
