January Drabble: "Some would say your life was sad,
but you lived it anyway" lyrics challenge
Incorporating lyrics from the song, "Far Behind" by Candlebox, tell me a story in exactly 100 words. Stick enough of the lyrics in your drabble to make it obvious you're following the challenge goals, but you don't have to copy/paste big chunks. I'm curious to see what y'all can do with prose on a song lyric challenge; my last lyrical prompt generated some STELLAR stuff. Get after it! Winner selected by me sometime in early Feb, entries need to be written as prose following conventional spelling, punctuation, and grammar to be considered eligible for a win or honorable mention. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHi8bwGsaKE
"Your life is sad."
He spat this out with disgust evident in his tone, turning around and slamming the door as he left.
There was a time when he stood with me through it all; my highs and lows, my falling, my flying. There is a limit to a person's patience, however kind they might be. His wore thin eventually, watching me destroy myself slowly through every means possible. As I crumbled, when he would have once held out his hands to catch the pieces; now he simply watches.
"I lived it anyway." I mumbled at the closed door, waiting.
