The Mating Games

Chapter 30

Chapter 30- Waking Up

‘Timber shakes these trails they are derailed.

Phony, false, and frail.

An empty ocean lost our way with no direction home.

Golden needles, names we take in vain.

Find it harder to remain.

And nothing’s sacred still waiting on an explanation.

Right before my eyes I saw the whole world lose control.

The whole world lost control before my eyes.

I fell through the floor, I couldn’t take this anymore.

I can’t take this anymore it breaks my mind.

Holding dirty hands over the flames.

Getting pleasure from the pain.

Softly screaming the pistol that you raised has spoken.

Golden needles names we take in vain.

Find it harder to remain.

Well nothing’s sacred still waiting on that explanation.

Right before my eyes I saw the whole world lose control.

The whole world lost control before my eyes.

I fell through the floor I couldn’t take it anymore.

I can’t take this anymore it breaks my mind.

Everything I thought I knew fell to the sides.

Time went on and on I couldn’t see past my own eyes.

Past my eyes, past my eyes.’

I woke up to the radio clock going off. I don’t turn it off though because I love the song playing, Right Before My Eyes by Cage the Elephant. When the song ends I turn over on the bed and see that it is only six o’clock in the morning. I groan and bring my arm up to turn it off.

When I turn back over on the bed, I expect to see Jay on the other side, only to find it empty. I sit up with my elbow supporting me. I hear the shower running in the bathroom and know that must be where Jay is. I lay on my back staring up at the ceiling, thinking. The shower turns off and then the door opens to reveal my mate in nothing but a towel.
