”Don’t go...”

The words softly rolled off his tongue as he gazed, fixated by the lines and cracks adorning the bricks. The darkness of starless night closed in on him. The solitude reached into his heart with cold fingers and clutched. It trapped it so that each beat made him certain it would burst. The frigid air seeping into his confined space left his very bones stiff and chilled.

And the guilt.

Oh, the guilt.

Never did he believe something could pain him so much. So much so that it proved difficult to breathe. Everything inside him tightened, tightened, and tightened still, until he was sure, soon enough, he would snap.

”I didn’t mean for this to happen...I just wanted to run away from all this...’

She hovered above him, an etherial glow casting warm light on his bronzed cheeks. She reached to to gently cup his face in her hand. Despite what he assumed to be a brush against his jaw, he felt nothing but frigidity.

Cold instead of warm...

A cruel reminder of her evident departure.

”All I wanted was to run away with you...to hide from all this...to hide you from all this...”

She smiled lightly. She leaned in close that her locks might tickle his lips.

But, he felt none of those pleasant sensations.

Yet, she appeared so real to him.

Was he mad?

”I just wanted to find a place where we’d be at peace....where I could wake up with you in my arms...Why? Why did you have to be so brave? Why did I have to become such a coward?”

Her face revealed nothing but sweetness and the purest of love.

Why?

Why would she show him such devotion?

After everything he had done?

He reached for her. He wrapped his arms around the thin entity.

Nothing but the cold air.

And the pounding of his breaking heart.

”Please...let me hold you.”

She sunk into him. She placed her head into the crook of his neck, just as she had done so so many times before.

He felt nothing.

But, it was better than forgetting her altogether.

”Please....hold me tight.”
Nnnnngg, sorry for all the angst, ya'll. This is dedicated to my Berthold babies, :iconcrimson-leviathan: and :iconicyfalls:! :heart:
