What Lies Within

Cold, dark and empty, like all the feelings of joy and love were being sucked from his body, he stood there unable to move, unable to feel, unable to take in what lied in front of him.

Dreaming….that is what I must be doing….dreaming….cause this can't be real…can it?

These words kept playing in his head over and over again like a broken record and the thoughts of what he had done moments before had finally began to sink in.

Why did I do it….why did I decide to play the hero. Why did I do it…..was it for…..her?

Another question he kept playing in his head, another question with no answer, he stood there frozen, immobilized by the fear of what he had just said.

Will I ever see her again, watch her smile, hear her laugh and be there when she needs me mostI'll have to leave it all up to him.. but is that what I want?

He closed his eyes and thought of back to times were he was happy, but as the minutes dragged by he found this even harder to do, he sighed, his thoughts scrambled. He opened his eyes suddenly blinded by what he had seen.

Light! Hope! Freedom! And a hand reaching out to him, familiar even though he could not see who or what it was. He in turn put his own hand out to except the life line. For the first time since he had entered this place he felt like he could smile, like there was still hope in the world, like he could tell her how he felt. Grasping the other hand, all the thoughts of fear and emptiness left his body and he felt at peace.

I'll be waiting for you…

I promise.
