We had been lying in the dark for hours, I didn’t quite know what to say and I thought I could sense that you felt the same - although from recent experience I knew not to trust my senses. As I felt your hand graze my knee a shiver shot through me and I opened my eyes as soon as I was sure you weren’t looking at me. Your distant eyes were filled with fear as you pulled on your wrinkled shirt, and I couldn’t bear to look at you so I shut my eyes and pretended to be asleep all the while listening to you bustle around the room. What seemed like a lifetime later I felt your kiss on my forehead, I absorbed your soft fragrance wandering down on me, and I could feel you stand over me for a moment before you turned around and I silently watched you leave the room. A painful sob escaped me the moment you left my sight and I slammed my head into the pillow to muffle the noise that felt as if it were leaking from my soul.

Words were running through my head like bats out of hell and flashes of what had happened stung my memory. I didn’t care for these reminders of my dreadful crime and all I could see in my mind were those bloodshot eyes. So scared, so small, so tender, as you fled the scene.
I happened to be without a thing to do one evening, and being constantly reminded by one of my friends (also on DA) that I hadn't got any work up yet. The result being this emotonal chunk of writing.
