Too Far
A Murder Ward Drabble
(Inspired by Kristie)
"Don't go too far" he asks, those blue eyes showing a fear and loneliness only I can see.
As if he has to ask - I would never go too far from him:
Especially when were are in a place like this,
Especially when I know that his life is in my hands,
Especially when I know that without him my life would be meaningless.
Doesn't he know we are connected by a bond so strong that we will never be apart?
Looking into his eyes, I see that he knows and that he feels the same about me.
He just needs to hear it…from me.
"Never" I say without speaking.
"I'll be here" I say out loud, reaching out to touch his arm.
"Don't go too far" he asks silently, those blue eyes showing a peace and security that only I can see.
