Together Forever (comments please...)
written by another_broken_soul05:57 AM 2/7/05I call her cell phone
She doesn’t answer
She takes long showers
I don’t think anything of it
Two o’clock…one hour later
“I’m going over there,”
I tell myself
She was sad Friday
Didn’t want to say why
But I’m sure she’s fine
Her car’s not in the driveway
They closed the garage door
They never close that door
Nobody seems to be home
Maybe she went shopping
In her room
There’s a photo album
Sinking into the carpet
I see us at the cabin
Last summer
I remember when she got the puppy
A yellow lab
But she hates photos
She never looks at them
Why are all her photos out?
I smell something
A car, maybe…
I see us at the top of Sacajawea Peak
Wind-tossed hair
Arms thrown around each other
Forever laughing in that picture
Forever together
There we are
At her 13th birthday
She was finally a teenager
She was so happy that day-
-I smell it again
nobody’s home; she left her car on?
I’ll go check the garage
“Hey honey! Where are you?
Is your car busted?”
-silence-
“Sweetie? You here?”
-dead silence-
The garage door is cracked open
One step-
The exhaust burns my throat
My eyes water; I can’t keep them open
I stumble down the stairs
My own scream echoes back to my ears
Her arm hangs limp
From the car window
Exhaust seeps across the floor
Like disease
Reaching out to pull me under
And smother my soul
My knees hit concrete
“How could you leave me?!
Take me with you!”
I scream at her lifeless form
Still, pale, untouched
A chill creeps up my spine
As I let myself lay down
On the cold floor
White fumes
Slowly twist around my body
Over my feet
Up my legs
Caressing the inside of my thighs
Gliding smoothly over my stomach
And across my chest
Draping itself over my neck
It reaches my ears,
Whispering of forbidden fruit
Bitter salvation
Eternity
Reaching down my throat
No longer burning
But warming me inside
Grey seeps into the edges of my memory
“I’m coming. Wait for me.”
My eyes close
As I sigh
And drift out of light
Into darkness…
I see her sillohette
A smile tugs at the corners of my mouth
I run to her
And here we’ll stay
Together forever |
