I awoke to an empty bed. I turned to find his side cold like he hadn't been there in a while. Panicking I jump up and start to call his name. My voice echoes thru the house. I turn on the lights and nothing of his remains. I glance at the dresser by the bed and there lies a note. I collapse to the floor and start to feel the tears slide down my cheeks.
"My dearest one, I'm so sorry to do this. I love you with all my soul but sometimes love just isn't enough. I don't know why or what but I can't do this any longer. The pain I see you go thru and I know the pain you see me go thru is killing us. This will hurt us both but in the end it will make us both stronger. If our paths should cross again maybe just maybe things will be different. You are without a doubt the strongest person I know. Good luck and remember I will always love you even tho I can no longer be here. "
He promised he would never leave. He promised he had my back. The one person who swore they wouldn't desert me like the rest just turned into the rest. The familiar chill started to fill the room and in the corner of my eye I could see the darknesslaughing. It was coming to claim me. I curled up in a ball with his letter clutched to my chest.
"Come take me. I have no more reasons to fight" I whispered as it got closer and closer. Then it just disappeared. As if to say, nah I want you to suffer.
