"Have you come here to die?" The voice was a bare whisper against the enveloping dark. It sounded stark and cold, with nothing in offer linked to safety. Yet, it brought me comfort of great proportions.

In the dark wintry recesses of Ba...
I woke to the splattering of rain against my window.
I felt the sheets against my body and I slowly opened my eyes to see the dark and gloomy winter day painted on today's atmosphere. Suddenly, the memories flooded back.
I turned my head against the hard mattress and the tough bedsheets. I was alone.
I sat up from the bed and covered myself with the sheets. It was a dream, it had to be a dream. Except, I was naked and the center of my legs hurt. I looked around the room and saw his coat sat next to the fabric I used to bind myself with.
I felt the tears prick my eyes and my whole body shook at the loss. I pulled my knees and hugged them against my chest. I looked around, with no sound from the house save the rain from outside. Beside my bed, a softly rotting apricot sat with the seed still inside.
I knew he had gone. I knew from the start he was never mine to keep. So he left and took the sun with him.
