Day Four
His eyes glued to the silhouette that was glazed over by shafts of moon as they broke through the window. More skilled hands could cast her in marble, setting her likeness in an Italian piazza and explain to an eager eyed child that this was beauty. Like a statue he couldn't touch, he was content with committing each contour to memory.
There was a shift when she crossed the room. He never felt her like this; a shattering earthquake with aftershocks of grief that trembled through him. The flimsy mattress pulled under her weight, and his heart went down to his gut. Laying there so still and sinking, he was drawn to be level with her. Sighs escaped them as he licked his lips and she churned at his side. She lost something but she didn't have to lose herself. No matter how hard she tried to steal herself away he couldn't help but see her. She was so evident to him.
Hot blood coursed through him with every aching pump of his heart. It was so loud and she was so close that he was sure she could hear it. Maybe he'd have to hold her, reminding her of their vitality and press her into his fold so she could feel every beat and breath.
His skeleton scratched earnestly at his twitching muscles, urging him to move. To try. There was a clang at the door and the chance was lost. He'd have to wait for a better day.
