You Make Me Feel

▫Prologue▫

She puffs out a cloud of smoke, looking out at the horizon with an emotionless expression.

Averting her eyes from the scenery, she removes the cigarette from between her chapped lips.

Minutes pass as she focuses on the cigarette

A sudden thought pops into her head

She lifts the cigarette to the side of her neck, applying a small amount of pressure onto her skin

A hissing sound is heard as the smell of burnt flesh passes through her nose

Nothing

She felt nothing

Letting out a sigh, she removes the cancer stick from her neck and drops it to the ground

Her lips began to quiver and her hands begin to shake

She takes a few steps back and leans against the wall

She falls onto the ground with a broken sob

She sobs away the pain that she could never feel

And cant seem to get rid of the one she will always feel

She does this without the realisation of the person watching her not so far away

Just on the neighboring side of her apartment balcony

He sat there

With a look of disbelief in his eyes at what he just witnessed

But also

a look of sadness and pity

Wanting to comfort her

Wanting to help her

Wanting to make her feel once again.
