This barren bit of land
Is draining away my life,
Draining away my energy.
I don’t think I can stand here any longer
And before I can give it another thought
I fall
I fall into the river
And I cannot swim.
I don’t even have the energy
To try and stay afloat
And just before I begin to leave,
Leave in the current,
I hear a splash.
Then I hear nothing for a while…
When I awake I see nothing
Nothing but the moon.
I hear a noise and look behind me.
The darkness conceals all,
All but those dark, intense, blue eyes.
Then I hear the sobs.
It is then that I realize I am on her side.
The one with the dark blue eyes brought me here.
Slowly I approach her.
Her head stayed buried in her knees.
I could hear her pain, but still I asked,
“Why do you cry?”
“He hurt me…it’s always him…” she sobbed.
“Who hurt you?” I knew and dreaded her answer.
She lifted her head so I could see
Her large grey-blue eyes,
Looking straight ahead with anger.
“Him…the one across the river…
He toys with me like I’m a pet,
No, like I’m a puppet.
I want only one thing and he refuses to give it to me.”
She almost growled her words out at me.
“I’m sure there’s a reason.
This must be a mistake.”
I couldn’t agree, not against him.
I shouldn’t even be with her,
But the one with the dark blue eyes brought me.
She went back to sobbing
And I turned towards the river.
Still I could not see well,
But I heard the rushing water.
In front of that water
Was a pair of dark blue eyes.
I suddenly grew tired.
I fell to my knees…
The darkness consumed me yet again.
