comotose, she watches him
flipping the cigarette,
sharp as a knife.
he knows.
he wasn't perfect
hell, he wasn't even okay
so why did she need him?
he turns.
it was a mistake
she is mute - dumb and silent,
unable to summon the words.
closer now.
ten more steps,
she notes idly,
watching his hands.
his hands.
she always loved his hands;
it was a running joke (- may -)
and yet - she really did.
her neck.
she didn't bother fighting,
it wasn't worth the effort.
maybe just one more time...
it's dark.

Mind over matter, if u dun mind it doesnt matter

I really like it. Vivid.
