The painful buzzing got louder and louder. I gave up on sleep that wasn't going to come and turned off the alarm clock. I propped myself up on my bed, my eyes burning. I stared out the window, right in front of my bed, not looking at anything in particular. The sky, an unusual red seemed almost artificial. I sat there for what could've been 2 hours or 2 minutes. I couldn't tell. My thoughts like a jumble of words I couldn't put together into a sentence, made my head pound even harder.
Finally getting out of bed, I made my way to the bathroom. I looked like death itself, dark valley's under my eyes had been carved out and my skin felt thin and papery, translucent almost.
The clock blared 3:54 AM when I noticed a faint yellow light and muffled music outside. I looked out the window and noticed it the light on upstairs in the two story grey house draped with creepers from the small balconies. I walked out to my balcony holding myself tightly trying to stay warm.
You looked at me and smiled from the balcony where you sat on the fake grass. I'd noticed you more everyday, I couldn't help but be intrigued.
It was around 7 when the sun came up, that's around the same time I got bored watching shows I didn't know the storyline of. I grabbed a coat and headed out, the cold air stinging my cheeks, not because I had anywhere to go, I just had to get some air.
I notice a dry flower that seemed to have rolled to my side of the pavement from your front yard and I pick it up, it's petals thrown up in their last fight, that would soon end and the pink from them would fade.
I looked down from it at my wrist, the skin delicate and I couldn't help but wonder, how easily cold steel against it would crack it and the remaining life and color left in me would drain out. It was weird to think of the fact that at some point in your life it all came to an end. So far my life had always been one mistake away from that end, but I hadn't thought about death until last week when I came home to find wailing sirens and about a dozen people running around trying to save somebody who was already gone.
