The Unknown

I continue to stare out the window, wondering about all the unanswered questions I had to offer. Then my mind began to drift to what would happen after death, like 'How would everyone react to my death?' As my thoughts continued, I felt my body move to its own accord, opening the window and letting the cold air in. My room stood towering over the ground below me, taunting me as my questions ran wild. I slowly drag myself away from the window and to the top of the apartment complex, a common place I visited in times of weakness and longing. An overwhelming sensation of emptiness and longing filled my body with pain and the feeling of worthlessness. I had never felt so...so unloved, unwanted, uncared for. Sobs coursed through my body as I started to shake while I stood alone on the roof, cold and alone. The cold winds nip at my cheeks as tears race down the sides of my face, pouring all my sadness, hurt, and pain out whilst I crumble to the ground with a sudden weakness. Nothing stopped the tears as I was swallowed by the cold angry bites. Even the warm presence that stood behind me couldn't silence my somber cries. I was scooped off the ground, warmth radiating from the one holding me close to their chest. A soothing hand brushes the hair away from my face, showing my bloodshot and puffy eyes from the crying and rosy cheeks from the cold weather. Maybe...just maybe this would answer my questions once and for all. I broke away from the person and race off the edge, the winds rushing past me,desperate screams trying to reach me, and arms pulling me back to the safety inside the building.
