She's spent all day in a stupor sometimes avoiding him, other times filled with pathetic attempts at "working it out". Phone calls were made, at least lunch was half decent, until she passed out on a cot in the nurse's station and slept through school. Watching the clock and it's only four-thirty she knows it's an hour before he'll be home, to "work it out". She pulls on her coat, trudges through cold parting it like the thickness is just a million tiny strands of hair. Five thirty, six-thirty, time passes quickly she laughs with her friends, and pretends not to care, but she's watching the clock. Caving in, she picks up the phone, dials seven digits, crosses her fingers, holding the cigarette as she pushes the window open. "hello?" "Hey....." She loves the sound of his voice now, but when she's crying, she hates its monotone ring. Whirling, snowflakes, the cold and no shoes, she's on the porch and he's hugging her tighter than ever, whispering. "I'm sorry I hurt you, I never meant to hurt you," and she murmurs "I thought you didn't care, or atleast that's how it sounds." He wont let her see his face because he's crying, and she hugs him, wanting to see, longing to wipe away his tears. She had something to say but at the last moment, she chickened out, and she's back on the phone saying "it's me". "Wie ein Quadrat in einem Kreis, eck' ich immer wieder an obwohl ich doch schon lange weiß, daß ich niemals ändern kann." ~Wizo |

Excuse me? EXCUSE ME?! Who on earth gave you permission to come into my life and write about it all on here? Wow. It echos the words and events that have been going though my head the past week. I think it is just great. It relates to me so personally... WOW ::saved::  "Zoom in as they burn the past to the ground and feel the heat of the future's glow..."
