when I saw her for the first time, i was immediately enraptured. she was an angel; a vision clothed in ethereality.
a moonlit walk along the beach dripping with glistening moonlight as stars exploded across the velvet expanse above us. i pause and sift through memories of midnight dates at the spring where i couldn't keep my hands-lips -off her shy smile, holding hands and skipping pebbles across the ocean while i laughed at her failed attempts.
why can't i just forget?
her lips ghost over my cheek, leaving my cold skin burning where they touched. she's cold and deathly pale, and lying in the middle of that bed she's impossibly vulnerable and oh-so-breakable.
"are you still with me?" she asks me, her voice a shattered murmur.
my eyes snap to meet her gaze, and when i speak my voice is strained with desperation. "i can save you."
her smile is sad. "you can't fix me," she murmurs, closing her eyes. her smiles wavered and my sky shatters.
it''s her face imprinted behind my eyelids, her voice that meets me in the chilling darkness, her touch that still-still-leaves trails of goosebumps on my skin. i'm swimming through pools of reminiscence, constantly haunted by her prescence.
why do bad things only happen to good people? maybe i was greedy. i didn't deserve her.
no one did.
i'm flying. The air is cool with nostalgia, and i shiver with the familiarity of it all. but without her, i'm nothing. a ghost. reality tears at me and i'm falling.
i'm somewhere inbetween. it's not a nice place to be, but it's my escape. i see her and my heart throbs.
I can't reach her.
With a hoarse cry of her name and an outstretched arm, my escape shatters and i'm falling once again.
and this time, as my sky shatters...
this time, I'm gone for good.
a/n: 1/50 drabbles...yay...um, in case you couldn't quite figure it out, it's from skye's pov, and...claire is dying from a disease (i don't know what-use your own imagination). when she dies...skye decides to join her...(in other words, he commits suicide).
not a very happy story, is it? probably because i'm listening to depressing music. i will write something happy. i swear.
