Comments: My first ever drabble lol, came to me as soon as I saw the picture I took as the prompt, under the cut...
SO I LOOK ON WHEN YOU'RE DEAD, STANDING BACK FROM THE CARNAGE OF YOUR BODY, AWAY FROM THE BLOOD STAINS ON YOUR ARMOUR AND MY HEART CHOKES IN MY THROAT FOR NOT BEING THERE NEXT TO YOU, FOR NOT BREATHING MY AIR INTO YOU (YOU NEED IT MUCH MORE THAN ME) AND THERE GOES THE FIRST TEAR I CRY FOR YOU. IT'S NOT EASY - IN NO WAY IS THIS EASY - BUT YOU'RE LYING THERE AND YOU'RE DEAD AND IT LOOKS SO EASY. IT'S SO HARD TO MOVE SO I STAND AS YOU LIE, CRADLED BABY, MY DEAD DEAR.
