Falling In Love

Falling In Love

 

There’s something so wonderful about complete darkness. I just close my eyes and all of my problems seem to vanish. Maybe all I really want is sleep. I just want to get out of here and go anywhere. I just don’t want to be here, anywhere but here. But it’s impossible and I know it. I guess I’ve known it my whole life. A girl can dream, because no one can stop me from dreaming. So I will get married because the reasons not to have escaped my mind. My choices have come to an end and I know what I have to do. I can’t escape the problems anymore; they now stare me in the eyes and taunt me. I can see us walking down the aisle together. The end of the walkway looks so pretty. I just need to get to the end. I only need to take the first few steps and everything else will fall into place. No one will miss me when I am gone, so I will take a leap of faith and start a new life. He will hold me tight in his cold grip and I will be happy. I can finally be at peace. I can finally be at peace.

“Ma’am, please step away from the ledge!”

My thoughts shatter instantly and the real world floods into my head. I know now I must marry Death. I feel my body go weightless and his cold dark arms embrace me. I can sleep.
