Must End - WORD BEATER

Post 7

Must End

I was lying on bed

And thinking about us

How we'd look together

After two years or five

Picturing me and him

On our honeymoon

Planning our wedding

And our child's name

When my phone started playing

Our favorite song

I opened my cell phone

And stared at the text

My eyebrows furrowed

My tears clouded my eyes

I suddenly felt weak,

Empty, and hopeless

I ran through the hallway

And went out of the house

All the scars I noticed

And all the times he cried

With no reason at all

Suddenly came to mind

I walked in the forest

To our favorite spot

And

I found him there

Lying on the dirt

Blood gushing out

From under his shirt

I crouched down slowly

And held him close

My tears started falling

Down my anguished face

His eyes fluttered open

And he weakly grinned

"You're here... finally...

I've been waiting" he coughed

He wiped my tears with his

Shaky and bloody hand

"Don't cry baby" he chocked

"This is how it must end"
