Inside

"Ah ah ah"
Singing... distant singing, threw the thickness of the dark. A body of a women lays on the floor, in the pitch black world of my mind. Her heart glows of sunset pink, like a baby's cheeks blushing.

Love... it's a strange feeling, or is it a disease? It feels wonderful but terrible at the same time, Like your flying so high but falling into eternal darkness. As if you were taking your first fresh breath of air, but drowning in your own tears. It's a pounding of your chest that makes you feel like your invincible, but like your heart is being ripped out of your body.

Soon I realized that the women on the floor, was me.

"Love is a wonderful thing... but once it's ripped away from you, there is no way of getting it back."

I watch my movements closely, as a single tear rules from my eye.

"D-Don't... Don't let h-him go. DON'T let him go!"

My other body grabbed my arm as if her life depended on it, and I think it might have. She looked deep into my eyes, she was suffering. I could see the pain in her eyes.

"Save him."

The words slipped off her lips, as her body began to decay at an alarming rate. In just a few minutes her entire body had become ash, soft, smooth, ash. I had no idea what she was warning me about, but something inside me told me to heed her warning.

*Ding ding ding"
My eyes felt droopy, and sore. I felt like I hadn't been sleeping even five minutes. Joseph, he was the one who set off my phone. He texted and called twice, I opened up my phone to check my messages.

"Hey, are you doing ok? You seem to be sleeping a lot."

"Yes, I'm fine. I just I'm really tired."

"Ok, good. Well call me later."

"I will."

My phone dropped into my lap. I didn't know how I felt about him really, I liked him a lot. But I didn't want to admit it because I didn't know how he would respond to it.

Sleep.. I had to go back to sleep it was a must. My body was killing me and not working like it was supposed to. Slowly I close my eyes, as I lay down on my bed that feels like a soft cloud floating in the sky.

Agh my head hurts, the distant pounding of the brick to my skull is getting harder and stronger. I shiver as I feel the frozen wind hit my bare skin on my arms and legs. I'm back on that dirt road, the glitter of light is still there. I jump up as fast as I can, and run threw the bushes and the leaves. Running and running, I just kept running. The trees and leaves just went on forever. I soon become dizzy, as I slow down and slowly sit onto the cold hard ground. The blades of grass tickle my cheeks as I lay down on the floor of the earth. Fog began to form around me, as it gave off heat that made my body feel warm and fuzzy inside.

The darkness of this world I was in surrounded me. It was almost suffocating to be surrounded by so much darkness. Pain filled my chest, as I breathed in the fog. The fog made my lugs feel dry and crusty, it was making it harder and harder to breathe with every breath I took. Just more and more fog filled my lungs making me begin to suffocate. My hands grabbed my throat attempting to allow myself to take at least one fresh breath. But the darkness wouldn't let me, it was closing in around me, consuming me.
