Some of Sam's thoughts from Dark Side of the Moon.
***********
He could see it happening, just couldn't see what he could do about it.
As they stepped from Flagstaff and out into the night, he instantly recognised another pitfall, ready to stab his brother's fragile heart – another time he'd abandoned Dean.
Helpless, he watched as realisation, dark and shadowed, crossed Dean's face. Heard the bitterness in his words "…you never saw it that way."
Watched the crust of icy despair forming a barrier round Dean's wounded soul.
Felt ice grip his own heart when the amulet dropped into the trash, as Dean walked through the Motel door without looking back.
