A Dead Love

Grazing Haze Of Death

You didn't care. You always told me that with such arrogance, that of course, l was led to believe lies.
I walked, planning to express my love for you, not knowing if you would just laugh in my face as I wept at your feet. You wouldn't care.
I was almost reaching your house when my heart knotted painfully and plummeted to the ground. You Stood There with your arms around her, your lips impaled to hers in heart-wrenching kiss.
I broke into a run, thinking of how stupid I had been, and now of my despondent mood.
I noticed the rough road my feet were pounding on so hard that the small rocks felt as if they were slicing open my toes.
I turned to see you holding that girl away from you, your eyes wide with desperation, you came after me. Did you care?Maybe you did.
Just as bright light reached my eyes, I heard your voice in a yell for my name and the air was knocked out of me.

I coughed up blood and the car came to an abrupt stop. The air wasn't whistling in my ears anymore and tears weren't streaming down my face like rivers.
I lay on the ground, pain shot through my legs and my head while blood flowed freely from gashes and broken bones sent me in a fit of waving screams.
You stood above me, sweat soaking your clothes.
Yells sounded in my ears and you filled my vision.
You held your face close to mine while you held me close, your lips brushed my cheek like a soft feather.
Sirens of an ambulance wailed nearby and with pain, I smiled.
You cried then, murmuring things in my ear.
I reached for the disheveled letter in my pocket I had written for you when I loved you. With a shaking hand I reached up for your face, letting the letter fall in your lap.
How quickly that had happened...
A single tear fell from my face and that was when life left me, right after I had my chance with you. But that time I knew you cared. For once.
