Waiting Azalea

.







…she walked to her window and looked down into the street, the lights in the distance looked like wondering stars shinning through the leaves in the trees…

…he was pedaling as fast as he could, today the shades of gray on her face were darker than normal and he swore he would…

…she opened the window just enough to let in a small breeze, she walked back to the bathroom to start the water; this will be the last night she’s…

…he turned the corner - he was almost there, it's as if he could feel her heart beat through the cold dense air…

…she slid into the bathtub with her clothes on, the taste of tears touched her lips as the water swirled around…

…he threw his bike down on the lawn and unhooked the radio from the handle bars… she only wanted to feel safe, wrapped in someone’s arms…

…gripping the radio, he pressed play and pushed it into the sky… -the blade was soft against her skin as she slowly closed her eyes…






...she heard a familiar song in the distance...









...disapear into the night...
