A few people seemed to enjoy my
previous story so I decided to have a kick at another one. ^^


Infinity[f] ---------------- Darci[m]
Sleep don't visit, so I choke on sun
And the days blur into one
And the backs of my eyes hum with things I've never doneI sat at the polished wood dinning table sifting through the stack of letters I held with shaking hands. I tossed each one aside angrily, they were only bills. Bills, bills, bills and more bills. Why hadn't he written me back yet? It's been two months. Two months.. He never took this long. Never! I pushed my icy blue bangs from my face before resting my left cheek on the table and looked towards my front door, twisting the engagement anxiously ring around my finger.
He proposed to me.. proposed to me the day before he left to serve for the Canadian army only to be posted over in Iraq soon after. We wrote each other once a month, I normally sent a letter once a week. I couldn't help it. It killed me to be away from him. He was an amazing man.
Sheets are swaying from an old clothesline
Like a row of captured ghosts over old dead grass
Was never much but we made the most
Welcome homeIt's been so long since I've received a letter from him. I worried each day that I would receive a letter saying he died in the line of duty. I don't know what I would do if he was gone. Just the thought of it tugged harshly at the strings of my sensitive heart. I longed to be in his arms, to sleep by him again, to feel his lips, above all.. just to hear his voice. It's been over a year now since I've seen the golden eyed man. Some days I got so desperate I would call his cell phone just to hear his voice mail. I didn't give me the comfort I wanted, the comfort I
needed. Ships are launching from my chest
Some have names but most do not
If you find one, please let me know what piece I've lostI felt the tears begin to well up in the eyes. He was gone, he was truly gone. Gone forever. I knew people would start telling me, 'oh he's not dead! He's alive in yours heart!' it's not the same though. It's not the same!
"It's just not the same!" I cried out feeling the tears finally spring from my eyes. "It's not the same, it's not, it's not.." I sobbed pounding my fist against the table. "Why, why, why?!" I yelled shooting up the my feet, I shoved the mail off the table in frustration. I sunk to the floor, pulling my knees to my chest, wrapping my knees around them as I rocked myself slowly. I wanted to be in his arms, to have him tell me that everything is going to be okay.
Peel the scars from off my back
I don't need them anymore
You can throw them out or keep them in your mason jars
I've come homeI rubbed my eyes furiously as I opened them, trying to clear them from the tears the clouded within in them. I gazed out towards the window, watching the sun set and pain the skies gold and pink. I rose to my feet when I caught sight of the arm van pulling into the gravel driveway. This is it. They're coming to tell me he's dead. They really are. I tentatively headed for the door, and reluctantly pulled it open. I waited there, staring at the
welcome mat. I listened as I heard someone emerge from the van.
"Infinity?" A voice said. I voice I had been longing for, for this past year. A voice that was like honey. A voice that sounded like something from a fairytale. A voice I
loved.All my nightmares escaped my head
Bar the door, please don't let them in
You were never supposed to leave
Now my head's splitting at the seams
And I don't know if I canImmediately I launched myself at him, hooking my legs around his waist, and my arms around his neck. I buried my face in the crook of his neck, and tears broke free again. "Darci, Darci, Darci.." I repeated over and over again. I heard the dropping of a bag, and felt his arms slink around me. I felt his gentle hands rubbing circles on my back.
"I'm sorry- I'm so sorry. I couldn't write-" He started and I pulled my face from his neck to look at the handsome man before me. I pressed a finger to his lips to stop him from talking, and I shook my head.
"Just shut up and kiss me."
Here, beneath my lungs
I feel your thumbs press into my skin again [[ This is awful. -_- ]]
[[ I might re-write it later. ^^; ]]
