Finding my mate

To the ones who understand

Its as if I'm drowning

And you watch me

I see your face through the ripples in the water

I see the hint of sadness yet joy on your face

You reach your hand in

My hero

But you do not grab my hand

Instead you bend down on your knees

And push me down further into the water

My lungs receive no air

Because of you

My eyes begin to tear

Thanks to you

And to make things worse

My heart is broken

And my blood is on your hands

I spring up to reality

I'm still alive

But it wasn't a dream

I look at Jake who's sound asleep

The trouble I'm in when he wakes up

I look at the door which has just creaked

Juliet is watching me as she bites her fingernails

Old habits never die

"May I come in?" she asks

I nod my head as she sits down beside me

"What's up sport?" I asked smiling

"Don't let daddy sleep in the attic" she whispered

I look at her with a confused look on my face

"What?" I say

Her face changes as if she's about to cry

"Stop it just leave me alone!" she yells running out the door covering her ears

I sit up trying to chase her

But I am stopped by a hand on my shoulder

"Shit" I muttered

I turn around plastering a smile on my face

"Your up" I said

He only stared at me

"How'd you sleep?" I asked

"Fine" he finally said

"That's good" I said

"We need to talk" he whispered in my ear

"Follow me to the attic" he added
