Waiting
(5/4/08)

My arm itches as it heals, but I barely notice the sensation. I'm too busy watching Mick. Waiting for something to happen.

Seconds pass like hours, and I think of Sarah. Of watching her, just like this, waiting. And nothing.

I wonder for the millionth time what I did wrong.

And I pray to a god I haven't believed in for centuries that I didn't do whatever it was again.

Then he sits up, his eyes open, and I breathe a quick sigh of relief and thanks.

And push those thoughts to the back of my mind for another night.
