act two; one.

Eli had visited
Flynn's grave a total
of 21 times,
since she had been buried.

Each time, she brought something.

A cupcake,

Flowers,

Her guitar so that she could play music,

Just anything that made it feel like Flynn was there with her.

So, last night,
Eli went to Flynn's grave,
with her guitar,
And she played.

Eli played "Baby, I'm Yours" by Arctic Monkeys.

Her hands shaking, 
she strummed peacefully
and let the air
be filled with
her soft voice.

At least, until,
her soft voice
just became a
bubble of sadness
that was
surrounding her.

And then,

Eli ran out of the graveyard,

Down 21st street,

Past the Belvedere castle,

And onto the old train railroads.

And Eli
just sat down,
and sobbed into
her hands,
holding her knees
close to her.

And she just sat there,

For what seemed like forever,

Until someone walked up to her,

And asked "are you okay?"
