Long Nights

People come and people go.
Blood seemed to gush out of Lance at an ungodly rate. Large puddles of blood formed around all of his gaping wounds.
Some too soon and some too slow,
Keith was next to him, trying to stop the floodgates. Tears were mixing in with all of the smeared blood, tinting themselves red.
but please, my love, don't leave me now; you'll take away my heart.
"Lance, please, stay with me," Keith's unsteady voice emerged as he quickly applied more pressure to the sources of his blood.
I need you here, to stay with me, until the nights aren't long.
Ocean blue eyes met vivid violet ones, both spilling out tears. A tan hand reached up to the other's face, landing on Keith's pale cheeks.
So please, my dear, don't leave me now, just stay a little longer.
Time seemed to stop as Lance's mouth opened. "I'm sorry, Keith." His body went limp, his hand falling into Keith's lap.
To keep the long nights away.
