Unsweetened Thoughts

Her.

Today,

today she was sad.

She didn't know why,

something didn't feel right.

She burst into tears and crawled back into bed.

She called in sick

and continued crying.

She sent him a text,

telling him to come over.

Within thirty minutes,

he was in her apartment.

Consoling her, 

holding her,

questioning her.

She couldn't answer him,

her sobs were getting louder.

Her breathing 

erratic.

She couldn't breathe.

She was clutching at her chest,

everything felt tight.

She was scared

and he was terrified beyond words.

He felt helpless,

he didn't know how to make her better.

He called 911,

tears streaming down his face.

He couldn't lose her.
