You're an artist attending university, a student who's hands are always smudged in some form of medium. Painting frantically and almost desperate in the mornings to recall a face that seems too heavenly to even have existed.

Every night you can see him, visit him and the illusion your head has created but sleep seems to be so short and unforgiving.

Waking you up in wild pants and choked cries.

Why were you so desperate? To awaken in tears just to feel him again?

Was it everything in the world that seemingly drums against your skull? Suffocating you and pushing your head under water with the overbearing possiblity that death lies too close in your bed?

You weren't that much of a being.

Replaceable, at its finest.
