Love Never Dies

I headed down the hallway
Following the green dots
Just like he said to.

I entered the room
Part of me nervous
To see you there.

I rested my eyes
Upon your stillness
And prayed for you.

You turned to me
And took my hand.
I couldn't cry.

I held you close.
My heart screamed.
I hid the pain.

"I'm sorry," I said
And I hoped
That you believed me.

And in that instant
I prayed that God
Would take it all away.

For seeing you
In such terrible pain
Was torture, love.

For, if I could
Just know I would
Take it all away.

I would take
A thousand arrows
To my heart.

Again, and again.
If only it would
Make this all go away.

And leave us again
The way we were.
Though it never will.

I wish, sometimes
That all my feelings
Would die, like yours.

Because I don't
Want to feel anymore
For you, love.

* * * * * * * * *

I leave the room
And follow the dots
Back to the waiting room.

And as we wait
I pray for you.
I cry again.

You see, my darling
I forgive you
After all.

So rest assured
In your deepest heart
That I am here.

I will be here
Beside you
For all of time.

And know this, my love
For this feeling
Never fades.

Understand this, my angel
For my love
Never dies.


Author notes

Option 1

"May my words be sweet and tender, for tomorrow, I may have to eat them."

Yesterday, I got a phone call from my best friend at one-thirty AM: My ex had been drugged at a nightclub and started having seizures, been removed by five police officers, and rushed into emergency. My friends and I all hurried to the hospital as fast as we could, and waited until they let us see him. He was released just shortly after 4:30 AM.

This is my story. Everything that went through my head, from the minute that I received the news, to the minute I said goodbye. If anything had happened to him, I never would have forgiven myself.

I would still fight and die for him.

Life waits for no one.
