Fighting A Loosing Battle

By: Harold Finch and Grace Luvr

Author's Note: Hey guys! This is just a short little one shot about our favorite Lieutenant. It's from Horatio's point of view. So I hope you all enjoy! :D

Horatio's POV

Darkness.

Some people are afraid of the dark.

Some people run from it.

I run towards it.

The darkness gives me comfort.

Helps me heal from what I have lost.

I'm a man whose only in his late 40's, yet I've already lost so much in life.

My mother, my brother, my colleague,…. My wife.

I could have done something to save them all, yet… I let them die.

And that's something I have to live with until the day death comes for my weary soul.

My fiery red hair has lost it's shine.

My ocean blue eyes, have lost their warmth.

I feel a deep sense of hurt everyday of my life.

I hide my pain from others, for I do not deserve their pity.

Every time I try to battle my demons, I only make things worse.

Sometimes, I even wonder what's the point of going on with my life.

All I'm doing, is fighting a loosing battle.
