the bottle of pills lays beside my bed on the chilled wooden floor clothes scattered around it with an empty can of dr pepper lying right beside it it's cold standing here beside my window looking out at the darkened world my eyes are blank unnoticing of him standing in the corner behind me the tears have long dried out the harsh words of hatred have long been said i'm tired now this night has been long neverending the clock has stopped for an eternal rest for there's no more use ticking everything has died with the loss of myself and my once proud dreams my fists are bloodied my heart has grown cold he walks over makes himself seen but i am blind nothing changes; he touches my forearm his touch, warm and welcoming i fall into his arms as though i am falling into a brightly lit tunnel his scent of Curve cologne evades my nostrils i feel his breath by my ear all sight floods back all warmth awakens me he quides me to the bed lays me down and sits beside me one of his hands caresses my cheek the other, holds mine he whispers "it will all be over soon you have nothing to fear" his eyes full of love mine, full of hate he opens up his world honest and trusting yet my trust has long died out with my loss of control; innocense i fought for too long, i fought alone he kisses me upon my forehead tells me: "it'll be all right i'm here will never ever leave" like all the rest have? they all left a long time ago how can i trust you won't do the same? in an instant one look into his baby blue eyes, i fall into his arms, into his heart, into him my world awakens my heart grows warm it all flows out from underneath this night will be even longer now he is teaching me how to trust, how to love, how to live all over again and as i find comfort in his eyes i think to myself: "i'm finally free the pain will finally leave me i can finally let it all out i can finally breathe."Birth sign: Scorpio
