Your all that I need, When I close my eyes your all I see.
Jeff stares into the distance, Watching the last sunset of his life....
Wondering on all the stupid mistakes made in his life,......... How did he come to this.
He couldn't understand, He see's the end of the road ahead and he was terrified.
All outside noise was just a ingoring buzz in his ears. All that he heard was the sound of his voice,
The crying...All he could see was the tears streaming down his cheeks slowly falling in a puddle on the floor.
All he wanted was to run from here, Goes as far away as he could,
Run as fast as he legs could but seeing as the razor-sharp fence was standing bewteen him and freedom it was very unlikely he would get very far... Just would meet his maker soon then expected if he did so.
How of all the endings he could leave with, This was the one he got,
How did he come to this ending was all he could think on.
He was going to be put to death in front of strangers for a crime he was too drunk and stoned to remember doing.
Jeff stares the world seeming to get farther from where he stood
He was in a whirlwind of emotion... Not knowing to cry or scream.
He would wait.. He wouldn't cry in front of them..That was something he wouldn't do.. NO He would stand in front of them and be a man take what he had coming.. No tears were gonna fall from these eyes, no not tonight and never again...
He remembered the last night he had with Mark, He was holding him, confessing his inner most fears and desires..
About all the dreams he had, some never to be sought after, Some made but then brutally snatched away....
He cried, Laughed with Mark until the police raided their home, Placing Jeff in handcuffs and taking him away, Miles away from Mark.
Jeff never did see or hear from Mark again.
Mark was now just a past memory.
Jeff hated rememering, If only there was nothing to remember.
maybe Jeff wouldn't feel so alone.
He stands into the sunlight, The rays shining down on him, He closes his eyes, wanting to stand here and let time stop.
If only time could really stop.
Ah what a stupid thought.
Time can't stop but it might as well be... I feel like I'm already gone.
"Hour's up hardy, Time to go"
Jeff takes one last look at the sky, He closes his eyes once again.. Making one last pityful wish.
"I want to see Mark one last time, If you could somehow make that happen for me please I beg you let him come, Let me see him..
For one last time".
Jeff is put back in shackels and handcuffs.
He is put back in his cell.. A few hours later I'll be on death row...Waiting ... Just sitting and waiting, No family to come and visit me, They've all abadon me but that's okay .. I can take this.. You come in this world alone and I'l be leaving it the same way.
All alone.
No problem I've been alone my whole life, why's night gonna be any different.
He wants to be cremated but who would take his body of ashes, He has no-one ...
Mark Why'd you leave, I made a mistake but it doesn't mean I still don't need you.
He sits and watches the clock whined down, Counting the hours pass.
The time comes.. The hour is upon him.
The guards come marching in one after the other.
He walks past rows of strangers, He can hear yelling from other inmates...
He hears the lead guard yell "Dead man walking, We've got a dead man walking here, Step aside"
Jeff breaks down no longer able to control himself... The tears fall...
TBC.
