Bleeding Out

You lie there, on the cold floor, bleeding. I am here, crying nothing. I can do nothing. I feel warm even though you are cold and getting colder. The world is grey, even though I know there is colour here.

You weakly lift your arm and hold my hand,

"Hold on. Hold on, Sara."

Your hand goes limp in mine. I scream. My flaws and mistakes did this. I made you die. Everywhere around me, there are screams. 

My heart died. With you.

Your eyes stare uselessly into the sky. I still scream. My heart, back to life, is bleeding like you were.

The darkness settles in around me. I look at your body, your corpse, again and scream. I scream until my throat is sore, and I still scream. A wolf howls in the distance. In the back of my mind, I feel horror. I am hopeless.

My our voice comes to me, 

"Hold on. Hold on Sara."

"I'm sorry. I cannot. I never could" I scream out into the darkness.

My heart is bleeding. Bleeding out like you were.

The red eyes of the wolf stares at me through the darkness. I do not care. My heart is bleeding. My mind is in pieces, broken beyond sanity. I do not feel afraid. All I feel is hopelessness and emptiness. Like your corpse.

The wolf lunges. I do not see anything. Other than darkness. I know that I am lying there, on the ground, bleeding out.
My body, like my heart, is bleeding out. Because of you. For you.

Sorry. I was just listening to the song 'Bleeding Out' by Imagine Dragons, and then this happened. I don't even know!
