I Told You I'd be There

I Told You I'd be There:

She stares at the clock,
It's almost four.
Mornings are peaceful,
Right?
Slouched in the chair.
She waits.
Mind too focused,
Too set on one thing.
The room is cool and dark,
Window hung open wide.
Outside moonlight plays on stars,
Wolf's cries fill the air.
The clock keeps ticking,
Slowing down to a point.
Her breathng is ragged and torn,
Heart skipping too many beats.
She waits.
Frame sits still,
Silence,
No noise.
Twenty minutes away from four.
Tears burn down her face,
Puddling to the floor.
Reched sobs fill the room.
She slides off the chair,
On the floor on her side.
And there gleaming on the ground,
Lays a silver pal.
Sharp at a point.
Cool to the touch,
It seem to call to her.
Will already weak,
She picks it up,
Fingure skimming the edge,
Saying hello to a long lost freind,
A voice replays in her head.
Yet she shoves it back.
"You said that you would be here!"
She cries out loud.
One slash,
Two cuts,
Three wounds,
Four gashes,
Three tears,
Two pain-filled eyes,
One broken soul.
That one broken soul,
Forever now be free.

I walk through the door. Searching, only to find the corpse of who used to be. I scream and drop to my knees, begging that it isn't so, I pull her up, to hold her and to never let go. I toldher I'd be there. And here I am, she just didn't give me the time. my tears mix with her blood, as I lay on the floor with her, heart beats no more. "I told you I'd be there."
