My Prince Charming

Hurt

I watch myself die. Dead in a tub of my blood. A small voice is heard "you haven't thought of what your family and friends would think" "what do you mean? what is this place?" "Your safe place you have visited it many times it has changed a lot huh? Oh *chuckles* you are afraid to look." I feel the same arms wrapped around me. "I need you. I really need you... I wish you were real. I know if I open my eyes it will be scary." "I am here I will always be here my darling." "What if I give up right now?" "You are going to hurt many times in your life. It will get better, you will marry and feel the love you deserve you will have beautiful children don't think of the pain right now keep moving forward." "I don't want to die" "you are okay what are you feeling?" "I feel a sharp pain in my arm and thigh. I feel a heartache and I feel betrayed." "Can you please open your eyes my darling?" I open them but avoid looking behind me. "Please don't show yourself... when your face blurs it scares me." "You can't see my face today I have a mask on." He turns me around to face him and the whole world behind him. The world full of cherry blossoms wild horses and small waterfalls with koi and turtles underneath. The grass is so soft on the bottom of my feet. I stare at him wearing a black hoodie his hair curls over his mask one of those masquerade masks. It does well to cover his nose but I can still see his lips and eyes.
