Alone

I stand at the precipice, awaiting the courage to force myself into action.

Behind me, there is nothing.

My arms cradle my still-swollen womb, now as dead and empty as my heart. The life which grew within flickered out, and with it my will to live. I miss the feel of his soft skin against mine. I retch at the memory of the icy stillness that slowly overtook his tiny body.

My emptiness threatens to swallow me, and I allow it. I take a leap of faith, a silent prayer on my lips that I find company in death.
