Staring…

I stopped in midair staring

Just staring

Staring as your back, gracefully, arched

And how it seemed eternity until you fell

Fell through the veil

The veil of black

I felt my eyes widen in shock waiting for you to come back

I refaced my opponent

They smirked and caught me off guard

Pain seared across my side and I fell into darkness

I awoke later my side throbbing yet still in a daze

I sat up to look around at the chaos

All this for you?

No all this because he returned

The nameless creature that stole you from us

I stood staring

Just staring at the fireplace

The fire's dancing reflection in my midnight eyes

I clutched the blanket around me

The mug in my hand warm

You are gone
