Why won't you just let me die?
I beg. BEGGED. Desperate for a release.
Mines.
When will my day come?
I want to end. I want to end.
"Please just let me," a sob ripping through my chest. "I want to. I really, really want this. I don't want to be here...." Heaving. Fleeting existence.
You must be disgusted.
You must hate me for wanting to be with you.
Jealous of your temporary blood. I want to be temporary too.
I got to get her away from me, you must think. I am too much. I am a virgin. I suck you. I suck you all in. It's too much. You must be tired of me. You can't stay; you know you can't. But you can't leave. I am too much. I am all over you. I consume you. I hold you til you are strained. I stretch you. Squeezed and tensed. You can leave. You could just stay. Or you could stay?
Why do you want me to live?
I plead. PLEADed. Until I found the reason. Reasons.
I'm happy. Happy. Don't want to hide anymore. I'm happy. Happy.
Maybe I will love.
Understanding.
Maybe I will live.
I will live.
Lisped in my hand, I am the breath of a happy vine.
Soul expanding with warmth. Yours. Maybe I will live. I will.
Body pressed against body in purity.
The healing warmth from the glory of the blue eyes.
Music swimming through the night and within me.
Lips to mine. So inviting.
Body to body. So pure.
I feel like a goddess in your arms.
My palm to your heart.
You are a God in my hands.
Your eyes...
So blue.
Your breath...
So warm.
Your touch...
So soft.
Your smile...
So beautiful.
Your everything...
You're everything, everything.
Balance...
So this is balance?
Harmony...
So this is peace?
Love...my arms opening for them.
I don't like it, but I understand.
So this is how it feels not to want to die?

Short Story"Why did I have to fall in love with you?" I question as hot steam fills my ribs. But it's not his warmth. It's not coming from him. James sighs, looking down. "Why won't you just let me die?" I whisper, choking on the tension between life and death...
