lost souls // c.h

❷

As i was walking home I was listening to this song on the radio and it was really good. The singer spoke to me. it was like his voice sank into my soul. I would never forget his beautiful voice. something about it was so comforting and beautiful. the words went, "I was already missing before the night I left. Just me and my shadow and all of my regrets. Who am I? Who am I when I don't know myself?" to me it was beautiful, I'm not sure why.

I caught myself humming that song quite loudly as i got out of my car. as i was humming it, i realized that guy from earlier in the coffee shop was a couple cars down looking at me as he was getting boxes out from his car. Why the hell is he staring at me? i sped walked back to my apartment.

As I walked up to the second floor and stood tired and sad in front of my door finding my keys, i heard a russling inside. It didnt sound like much though.. i was curious.. I opened the door and couldnt see anything due to it being dark but i heard another sound come from my hall. i immediately turned on the lights to find nothing. everything looked the same. I walked in the living room. all fine. then my bedroom. It was nothing.

I went to the bathroom and turned on the shower letting the bathroom steam up a bit before getting in. I smiled in the slowly fogging mirror admiring my gold, heart necklace around my neck. I looked down and opened the locket. there was a black & white photo of my mom in her younger years before i was born. I thought the photo was absolutely beautiful. My dad told me it was taken before i was born right when they were married. I still remember her. she died when i was only 6. she got very sick one day and passed away a few months later. when i was little I didnt understand why she left so my dad put together my heart necklace and told me she never did.. that she will always be with me.

        I snapped back into reality feeling sad about my mother and quickly undressed getting in the shower.

when i was done, i thought I could really go for ice cream, so i headed down the hall to my kitchen.
then there stood two men in black with masks.
