"love is a disease. First it's the slight skip of a heart beat, before you know it, it hijacks the brain. You'd do anything for them, the host functions on only emotions, never the reasonableness nor the duties they once carried. Only few hosts are able to shake the disease, the rest die trying."- Shake The Disease 2023
Letting go off your home isn't easy. Home is where you turn to on both good and bad days. Home could be a person. Home is a source of comfort. Home is safe. But what if you're faced with the reality? Reality that home is never forever. The comfort, the safety, the love, isn't foreverOne day soon perhaps home is 7 feet under. 7 breeds of grasses and flowers swaying above home's head. Home will never be forgotten. Home may not be physically last forever, but home with be with you mentally.
How do you let of of home you may ask? How to apply a band-aid to a wound on the interior rather then the exterior? Impossible. It's impossible. But why cry over a free soul? Why cry for someone's pain to be cured? Only that the pain finds its grip onto you.
You're told to let go, you're told to get over it, you're told to keep your head up. But now you're lonely and the once open heart you acquired is aching. Your breathe is stolen from your lungs, panic infiltrates the body, tears leave the eyes, hands claw at the throat.
You breath. You let go.
When Bee prayed to see her sister again, she didn't mean it in such a literal sense. Her hands intertwined with her raven hair, pulling at the roots in frustration, then the yelling began. The cries followed shortly after. "Kill me, kill me, kill-" His hands pulled at her pale cheeks, making her face him.
"Nabi, you know I, I can't." He huffed, tears forming at his lashes. "I still need you," He sniffled, "so let's go okay? You're fine Bee." He smiled through his now fallen tears, trying to convince himself of his own words.
Nabi shook her head slightly, placing her hands on top of his, tracing circles on them with her thumbs before pulling both sets from her face. "Ko-" He cuts her off, "No." His head fell back to look up, his habit of fighting tears.
"I won't let it happen, not again. I will save you. I will."
