'Til Death Do We Part
It happened too fast.
His cries,
his pleas for help,
all fell on deaf ears.
It was fast.
And it hurt.
Quick,
cold,
and darkness.
And yet,
he can still hear his loved ones cries,
"Hiccup..."
"...hel-..."
"...Hicc..."
"...me..."
"...he..."
"PLEASE!"
And it pains him that the cries echo through his head.
The pure sound made his heart churn.
He gripped his head,
begging for the pain to stop.
Begging for his love one to be by his side.
To stop the voices in his head.
"Hic..."
"...help..."
He doesn't know what to do.
His world has been torn apart,
and he believes,
that sanity,
has finally left him.
The night it happened,
replays in his mind.
Fresh as the raging snow outside his window,
which he dares not look at,
for it reminds him too much of...
his mind replays seeing the other in his enemy's arms,
crying for help.
Tears flowed down warm brown eyes,
his hands tied tightly behind his back.
And no one helped him.
He tried to,
but he couldn't get to him in time.
He watched as he was thrown onto the lake,
he hoped that the lake,
freezing due to the early winter,
would hold long enough for him to get to the other.
But he was held back.
He tried.
HE TRIED!
But there were too many against him.
And it's when they heard the sickening crack,
and a cry that was forever silent,
did the others leave.
Letting him fall to his knees,
staring at the spot where the boy he loved,
had once been.
He took no notice of the crowd that arrived.
He took no notice,
when he was dragged off the ice,
but he did take notice,
when his loved one was pulled out of the ice,
and asking how he was.
He remembered his heart shattering upon the news.
He swore never to love again.
The saying is,
"'Til death do we part."
And if death was what parted them,
death should be what brought them back together.
So,
he didn't care,
that the next time anyone saw him,
he would never see them,
never feel them.
That the next time his body was seen,
all the life and warmth that it once held,
would forever be extinguished by the grief that led to his demise.
