He sits there with in inches of her touch but when she looks
at him she knows that he’s not really there.
Just the emptiness of his eyes tell it all. He has trapped his soul in the oblivion that
is produced by the chemicals in the needle.
They sit in the empty parking lot no words spoken as he drifts in and
out of consciousness and her soul starts to crack. She is losing him but she is trying to keep his head above water
and the only way she knows how to keep him from shutting her out completely is
to dive into the water after him and try to swim him to safety. The ice cold water is chilling
her to the bones though. Making it hard
to find the strength to simply keep her head up let alone try to find him under
the blackened sea. She wants him to tell
her to let him go. She wants him to tell
her to get out the water before she dies.
She knows she cant save him and this path will surly end with her six feet down but how
do you save yourself if it means having to rip out your own heart? How does that work?
Now’s not the time to try and distinguish right from wrong
though. So she simply reaches out and
gently runs her finger nails down his jaw line causing him to stir and open his
eyes at her.
