Drabble for the jackoneill100 challenge: scars.
Yup, I'm back!
Disclaimer: No.
Dedicated to: Kiri, forever and for always. Oh, and Ichigo (not real name) because she's cool, and doesn't read this anyway.

They said I would be okay, that the pain, the hurt, the agony would end. They said that, in time, the wounds will heal, the scars will fade. That it would be a mere bump in the road of life. That I would forget. Its been three years, Jack, and I haven't. I haven't forgotten. I haven't forgotten the explosion of light, and pain, and sound that tore apart my life. I haven't forgotten the blood that rained down from the sky, the awful silence that predetermined the terrible thump that sounded louder than any blast, a silence in itself. I haven't forgotten the sight of you, as you struggled to breath, struggled, and tried, and nearly failed, to push your voice through a mouth slick with blood.
And, Jack, I haven't forgotten you. The sight, and smell, and sound, and touch of you. They say, they do, they say all wounds heal, and all scars fade.
But, the wounds still throbs with my every heartbeat, with every breath I take without you.
I know, a wound this deep will not heal. A wound this painful cannot heal.
And…
And…that…
That…
…
And that will be my downfall.
