How To Be Dead

There she stands, in front of me. Her blonde curls settle on her shoulders as she shakes with laughter, her bosom heaves – I'm watching, she knows that I'm watching. I smile at her, smile and laugh with her. Her eyes sparkle with delight, her curls dance from her head, her rouged lips are pert and welcoming, her soft laughter rings in my ears. I place my hands on her soft skin, she's like a goddess that I'm forbidden to touch – I ignore them, she is mine. I run my hands down her skin, tiny goose bumps appear under my hands, she's so soft and delicate, like a petal…a rose petal. She looks at me and I'm lost in her eyes, so pure and true…she hides the darkness that rocks my soul, she makes me real – she is my everything. I smile at her – she knows. She knows what she means to me…that's while she'll never leave me, that's while she'll never go away. I'll be dead without her. But she has, she has gone – and I now stand alone. I have no hand to hold, I have no laughter to listen to, I have no body to hug and no bosom to watch. I am alone. My hand trembles as it reaches into my pocket, I hold a lock of her hair and drop it. It falls slowly into the darkness – a yawning cavern hungrily eats the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. It is gone. She is gone. Soon I shall be gone. I step forward…lost without her…my teeth chatter…it is time…my hand shakes…its all over…my foot moves…time to leave…my eyes close…time to embrace the darkness. I step forwards into the darkness… now I am as lost as her.
