This Isn't About Them, He Snarled At

I Wondered – Would A Bullet Through My Temple Actually Kill Me Or Just Leave A Really Big Mess For Me To Clean Up?

When He Left, You Spent All Your Energy Holding On To Him. You Could Be Happy If You Let Go.

He’s Playing Every Bit As Hard As I Am, Only He Knows What He’s Doing And I Don’t. Don’t Blame Me Because He’s A Better Manipulator Than I Am — I Haven’t Been Around Long Enough To Learn All His Tricks.

The Laughter In His Deep-set Black Eyes, The Feverish Heat Of His Big Hand Around Mine, The Flash Of His White Teeth Against His Dark Skin, His Face Stretching Into The Wide Smile That Had Always Been Like A Key To A Secret Door Where Only Kindred Spirits Could Enter.

As I Took Another Breath, I Saw The Three Stars Again. They Were Not Calling To Me; They Were Letting Me Go, Leaving Me To The Black Universe I Had Wandered For So Many Lifetimes. I Drifted Into The Black, And It Got Brighter And Brighter. It Wasn't Black At All - It Was Blue. Warm, Vibrant, Brilliant Blue...i Floated Into It With No Fear At All.
