Waiting Azalea
By A Life Without You
.
…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...

very smooth.... the fragmented narrative is effective..... allows for greater audience participation... engaging..... one thing: "close on".... I think you meant "clothes on"?

Is the title also the title of the song... perhaps? That would be a neat.

I found this mesmerizing and calculated. Even expecting the outcome I didn't expect it to be so haunting. The words unspoken, I think, added much to this. Nicely done, thank you for sharing :)
