My Last Prayer for You

by Megan Aries - Not entered

Why was it that the last time I touched
your hands they were cold? Was your body
having a physical act of repulsion that
stemmed from my presence? Before I left 
home all my friends told me that I had
been drinking too much, now, on my own
I can't even afford a 40 of St.Ides, and
my life seemed to be much easier when I
drank my problems away. Now I have to face
them, pondering ways to erase them from the
hard drive that is my mind. To you I always
was someone elses' mess to clean up. I
never doupted you and I should have. I still
can't help but think that we are just on
a vacation from each other, that it will
be back to the way it ought to be soon. But
our vacation seems to be permanant, just
as Hayley's is from Jason, and Lea's is from
Vinse. I am getting on my knees and praying
for rain. Purifying, cleansing and suffocationg.
Drowning, washing it all away. Then you will
remember, because I can never let you forget.
Your eyes may be whithered, and your bones
brittle, but my face will always harvest in
your mind during the cold months of December
through the rainy days of May.

Reason for writing:

    I still miss him...
