Another day, another fight, more angry tears falling though the night. She's laying in bed to halt the dizziness from regret, a regret so deep it cannot be wished away. He's always running to the next big fight, leaving her with her distraught thoughts, just now realizing he's not emotionally prepared to listen to her problems. There's always something bigger, better, more exciting to be explored, and she simply isn't what captivates him anymore.
In the beginning everything was beautiful, as tender and caring as a budding relationship can be. Soon, however, life began to interfere in the carefully constructed bubble of their life, and it proved to be more interesting to him, so he ran. He ran as if he would never see the world again, and she was left standing in the whirlwind of his dust. He would always return when the need for her became too great and began to haunt his body and soul. She would always smile graciously, listen to his tales of excitement and wonder, and welcome him back into her bed, hoping that this time it would last forever.
This return was different. Tension could be felt in the air around them; it was so thick it threatened to suffocate all who entered there. He smiled, oblivious to her anger, and asked her about her day. She stood, shocked, until the tears began to pour down her pale cheeks. She told him how she needed him, how she needed him to hear her problems for once, to listen to her trials and tribulations, to help her in life. As she was halfway through the speech she had practiced a thousand times in her head, a voice was heard in the horizon calling for him. Before she could proceed, he gave her a chaste kiss on the lips and said they could continue this later.
She continues sinking into the bed as if it will swallow her, and she will disappear forever. Instead, it continues drinking her tears, stabilizing her in her regret. She wonders if he will return this time. As she sees a bright light over the horizon, she stands and dries her tears. She knows this is the only way she will ever keep her family.
