A/N: I have no idea where this came from, or why but it's two sides of the same story. First from Emily.
Disclaimer: I own nothing Criminal Minds, sadly.
Because you understand her
That is the reasoning
Every word, Every action
It's for her
You breathe deeply
ignoring the pain
Superficial wounds bleeding lightly
Her fingers press against yours
Her words of comfort bring little
ghosting over your lips
before disappearing into the night
Nothing tangible sticks
She forces your gaze to her
blue meets near black
Her words aren't of reassurances anymore
Instead she pleads
You want to hold her
Tell her you're fine
but your energy has gone
Seeping from your body like your blood
You close you eyes momentarily
like a kaleidoscope, images shift
You see her face briefly
Then darkness
In the quiet she's with you
her heart beating for your own
sustaining you for a few moments more
You tell her you love her
