Tag me so I can read it. :)
He is waiting
She couldn’t close her eyes, for fear she would go back to that place. A place so grey where his face always stays. She can hear him breathing. The smell of sweat, coal and bourbon.
She tosses and turns in hopes the sunlight finally shows. Twenty years have passed, yet he is always waiting. The night passes and she fades away. Safe now to close her eyes in the light of day.
