Looking up at the stars
Wishing

Waiting
For you
For the light
Spinning
Farther and farther
Into the darkness
Waiting to be swallowed whole
Or spit back up
Into the Fringe of
Darkness
But nothing happens
I just get tired
Tired of all the sleepless nights
Alone
Away
Apart
Different
I reach for you
But my grip is weak
And you slip free
I fall deeper into
Darkness
And wish I could be saved.

When had he become so hard? She reckoned that by the end of the year, he'd be dead, collapsed from a heart attack and she struggled to conjure any sympathy in that moment and instantly felt ashamed at displaying the same lack of compassion that he had.
