long ride home.....
The tears streamed silently down my cheeks as i sat in the back seat of our old suburban. my sister sat next to me listening to her ipod oblivious to the world. my mother sat in the passenger seat in front of me as she rested her eyes. my dad drove silently on. there was an odd peace in that car, with the familiar smells and same noises as the seats rattled as we went over the bumps in the road.
The tears continued to fall as i saw the look in her eyes as we left her behind. the look of abandonment and fear of being left behind. it was heartwrenching. to see her being held back as one by one we filed out of the gate to the car. as she stood there looking at me as if she were saying "how could you leave me? please let me come." i wondered if she knew that we would be back for her in just a few days. I wanted to go back and get her. i wanted to tell her that i wouldn't ever leave her again.
As i looked out of the window, the tears still falling, i saw one lonely star that refused to be hidden by the dark clouds. just below it you could see a luminous glow from the moon that barely showed through the dense, stormy clouds. I wondered if she was going to be ok. as a dim light showed through the car, i saw my face reflected in the window. i saw my glassy eyes with the streaks of tears flowing dowm my face. i saw the sadness shown in every ounce of my face.
The tears streamed silently down my face and no one knew. no one will ever kno how i felt in those moments. no one will ever kno....
