angst ficlet #1: dream
are you falling apart inside, my dear?
do you need me to take away the pain? just say the word and i will gather you up in my never ending love. i will hold you in the darkest depths of my soul.
tell me, are your legs tired from walking the path between life and death?
if so, give your weight to me and i will carry your worn body and the baggage that follows, perched upon my aching back. i'll ignore the way my limbs tremble in unease, the pressure dragging me closer to the brink of letting go. because for you, my love, i'd pace the world a million times over just to keep you alive.
is your mind racing with thoughts of dread for the day to come? tell me your worries and i will throw them to the stars and we will bask in the light of the free moon.
are your hands shaking like a flower in a storm? is your chest collapsing with every breath you heave? let me pump my veins full of your air and pay no mind to the sound of my heart stilling it's steady beats.
i will become the river that flows within your dampened eyes, drowning myself in your tears; a foolish attempt to soak them up into my own being. watch as i trickle down your face, resigned to being the last drop of sorrow that you release.
leave me to the will of the sun, and soon i will rain down upon your frame in a shower of glorious protection. there you will rest, reassurance of my adoration lulling you to sleep. goodnight, my darling, please dream of me.
