Reflection A5

Her life flashes before my eyes

intertwined with his chained heart

Her smile is present even as she breathes

blood

rats surround the alley

a few more steps

1... no no no they wouldn't do this to her

Severed arm instantly

2... I cried for you

now I have to mourn too 

The pink hair covers her view of the cafe 

Blood pools and surrounds the rats 

a feast in waiting

3... Almost two hours I spent laughing and crying for her all for the sobs to ricochet

He

School

Why why didn't she do this or that

all left her unable to explode

for she did care

more than I did

even as each passing moment bubbles my cries

for people that only existed for those two hours I replay on repeat

When was the last time I cried this much

For people who gave me reasons

meaningful shoulders to sever and others to cry for or on and on and on

She taught him to swim though even she couldn't swim away from the all seeing through rats, birds, and insects

She cared as she was neither a city or country being but a child solider of a world created in imagination

She didn't get to go to school

A soldier

A spy

A failure for

She loved his heart

and they broke mine.
