The Hardest Thing is Letting Go


E/O Drabble Challenge: word count 100

Challenge word: pillow

Warnings: Spoilery for Season 8, kind of. Also, a kind of poem. It probably sucks.

Summary: Sam and Dean are failing to communicate and it's breaking my heart.


Sam:

I don't want to be old, alone and afraid,

Looking back regretting all the choices I made.

I need somewhere safe to lay down my head

With a lover's lap as a pillow for my bed…

Dean:

I don't want to die old, alone and afraid.

I want to fight and face Death unbetrayed.

I've got to keep moving, got to stay on this road,

Saving people, hunting things with courage borrowed…

Sam:

I don't want to be old and sleep alone.

Dean:

A house is not a home.

Sam:

You have to let go.

Dean:

I can't.

No.
