Written For Mystii. Hope you like it darling.
Character: Katie Bell
Prompts: before dawn, cracked && kept.
It's just hours before dawn
&& you f e e l
like maybe you'll never wake
from this nightmare
encircling you.
It just can't be real
your head is swimming
&& your heart is beating
like a war drum.
Your breath
it's coming in huffs
you a c h e all over
you just want to stop
to give up
nothing is worth it
Not anymore.
Something has cracked
you feel broken
abused
drowning in this nightmare.
You can smell burning
hear screaming
see l i g h t s
coming from nowhere.
You can't stop
you know you can't
but your body won't move
&& tears
well, fuck, they're flowing.
It's not r e a l
at least, it seems that way
like it's a nightmare
Come on, Katie, wake up
but you won't.
Move, please, move
you beg silently
but your attempts are futile
he'll n e v e r move again.
Your breath is rasping now
shuddering through your chest
it's worse than the aches.
Your mind
it plays t r i c k s on you
making you wish
things that would never happen.
You couldn't have k e p t him safe
you know he would never
have let you
even if you begged
pleaded
beseeched him.
You can feel your heart
as it fractures
splintering
into a thousand shards
To tear through your body.
You choke back the tears
try to d e n y
but you know
with every piece of that
fractured heart
that he's gone.
It's just hours before dawn
&& you feel
like you'll never wake
from this r e a l i t y
suffocating you.
