They lie side by side, face to face, palm to palm.
His skin is sweaty and hers is bloodied. Their child lies between them, eyes unseeing and chest unmoving.
He wishes he could take away her pain; she wishes she could take away his whilst escaping her own.
She departs with a silent 'I love you'. He cradles their corpses until the tears refuse to fall and all he can feel is fury.
All he wanted was a happily ever after.
Christina Perri has a wonderful voice. She inspires well.
