He had her right there...and what did he do?


A Divine Moment



It's 2:13 AM.
She sleeps so peacefully
Illuminating everything in the darkness
Time starts to slow down
His hand touching heaven
He doesn't want to leave
It's soft, warm, perfect
The light from outside shown on her lips
Leading him to the gates
He stares at them like a soul in Limbo
He moves in, inches away
Feeling the warm, serene breeze from inside
It makes his lips quiver tremendously
So close...so f**kin close
But he avoids the guidance
He stops and pulls back
These gates weren't meant for him to open
He looks at those shut eyes
His eternal bliss, closed with them
He will never be this close again
He suddenly drops from the clouds
Falling rapidly down to earth
Then within seconds, his body makes impact
Blood splatters everywhere like an execution
His body shatters and tears in so many pieces
But his eyes manage to stay open
Looking up at where he just was
It's too late to open those gates now
A tear slowly drips down the side of his blood-covered face
His shredded heart erases into the air
He finally closes his eyes
It's now 2:14 AM.
