She can change your emotions with her voice
She opens her mouth, and what leaves cannot be described as singing. No, it’s something much more than that. Something so unearthly, so surreal that it can only be described as pure emotion.
Sadness. The song itself is sadness. It doesn't sound sad, make you sad, it is the emotion sadness.
It opens a gaping hole in him, pulls a deep, dark, despair from the depths of his soul, crushing his lungs, driving him to his knees as tears begin to flow down his face and a sharp sob escapes him.
Grief.
Despair.
Hopelessness.
Devastation.
Loss.
They all wrap around him, steal the drive, the fight right out of his very being.
And it is all caused by her music, her voice, hitting notes that have never been uttered, blending into a beautiful, terrible melody. He wants it to end. Wants his life to end. He can’t take this anymore-
And then it’s over. She stops singing and the moment she does, every pain, every emotional turmoil lifts from his shoulders.
