WARNING!!! ANGST AND DEPRESSION! (it's been a bad day - get off my case)
Okay, another oneshot brought to you by the wonders of insomnia (or history assingment procrastionation, but whateva)...I just keep rolling these things out.
My inner psychiatrist is telling me it's because I have an innate need to write, and my main oulet is blocked, so I turn to oneshots for solace (sorry 'bout that).
My inner child is telling me to stop depressing my readers.
My inner other personality is informing you that I want at least 10 reveiws for this. Thank you very much.
Enjoy:
Her Greatest Need:
I should have known.
When she said "Go." she meant; "Stay."
She said she would be all right, but now I know she was not.
Stubborn to the end.
We should have known.
We each had a different need, greater than any other.
-
Iggy needed a way to see, whether it be hearing or a slight pull on his jacket.
Nudge needed to be heard, acknowledged…loved.
The Gasman needed his sister, and his best friend – his companions.
Angel needed to be seen, to be cared for.
I needed time – to think, to react, to analyse, to remember, to repress.
-
Max needed us.
-
We couldn't see that.
-
Iggy would always find a way to see,
Nudge would find a way to be heard,
The Gasman would always be there with his sister,
Angel would always have someone there.
I would always find time, in a silence, a look rather than a word.
But how could Max have found us?
-
We left her.
Not to hurt her.
We didn't know.
I should have seen.
Each parting tore at her, just a little bit more.
I should have known, when I looked in her eyes, and said; "Goodbye."
-
Now, we are together. Again.
I should have remembered, how much it hurt to be apart.
But the pull of a new life was too much to resist.
Our parents.I know that we will never find her, and she will never know that we are looking.
She will keep moving, flying, to fly from the call of her deepest need; us.
-
She will never settle, she can never settle, because she will never have a full new life, without;
Us.
-
Her greatest need.
