you'd illuminate all
the darkest places
If I could change your mind
~*~
There is a stillness that lingers deep in the spine of the land that reminds him of something unkind
it hovers over his silhouette, burning everything around him, refusing, even, to grant him the simple relief of breathing
He wobbles, feet unsteady on the dirt under his feet
Don't you dare--
don't you dare turn back
It's over
It's all over
The thought trembles against something else that stirs inside him, wilting at the sound of nothingness that comes from the spot where she had crumbled
And if the wind were to blow just then, softly but with enough vigor to take with it the pieces he left behind, would he be able to endure the gust of it as it finished taking her away from him?
So you got your revenge
You did what you set out to do
She doesn't call his name again
Instead, he turns back, and utters hers
