just another night

24Dec06

he thrashes around wildly in the clutch of yet another horrible nightmare. sleep and comfort have not come together since the accident. i’ll be there for you. the words reverberate through his skull and he wakes.

he looks from the picture on the table to the empty space beside him.

i’m so sorry, he sobs.

    I am in the mirror; I am in the picture frame. I am in nights uneasy, sleep unobtained. I am who they whisper about behind your back; they fear upsetting you, you see. I am the reason our family and friends received no Christmas cards this year, but they don’t mind. They send their condolences.

    I find your blog really interesting; it’s certainly another perspective and I always love that. I have linked to your blog on my Bookmarks page – hope that’s okay with you; I assumed your blog wasn’t private.

    I was wondering what to put your blog down as; in the end decided to use the full title. :)

    Right now I’m venturing into illustrating children’s books — am keeping fingers crossed. ;)
