Without Lexie

Marrie was asleep on the floor and snoring softly. She looked so peaceful. I was jealous of her, to be able to still smile... To be able to sleep without nightmares... Her lips parted and she smiled. I sighed and flopped back on the couch frustrated. I stared up at the sky... "Lexie, why did you have to go?" I whispered. I waited like I was expecting an answer, one that never came and never would. I was never going to know why Lexie had to leave, and I was never going to recover from losing her.
