Watching You

Obseqy

My motionless body is lowered on to the ground and soon after burried. 

Unfortunately, my body is not the only one motionless. His is too.

He is breathing, watching, hearing but not feeling.

His soul had left his body. 

One by one everyone offers him their condolences and leaves, his best friends the only people staying behind. 

He says something. The first words he spoke since that day. 

His friends nods and hesitantly leave.

He walks toward my grave and just lays there. 

Tears start flowing from his eyes for the millionth time. I can't help but reach out to wipe it and again get reminded of the reason for his sadness.

I lay there beside him just watching.

I have never felt more helpless. Not even when I was alive.

"Why," words are uttered, "Why do you have to leave me so soon. We had so many plans. It's all my fault isn't it?"

'No' I say but it doesn't reach his ears.

"I should have protected you."

'You did. Please don't blame your self.'

Minutes goes by or maybe it's been hours. The sun has started to set. 

He fell asleep while crying.

Moments later his friends come back and take him and I just follow him.
