Palms Pressed Together

Emmerson Lavigne

1 min read

Palms pressed together,

On purpose, by design.

The nerves a mass of quivers,

This fearful heart of mine.

What if they see?

What if they know?

Deep in this heart,

The seeds I've sown.

You hold my hand,

So soft and light,

You whisper low,

Two hands entwined.

At least back then

With heart and mind.

From that moment on,

I lived my truth.

For all I am,

I owe to yo...

The Song

Loved ones and friends,

Must take their close

With soft goodbye.

It will end

As all things do.

Each nightmare and

Each sorrow.

Though pain may stay,

It passes through.

It, ...

Death comes for everyone, but Death has been by my side for years.

"Are you there?" I ask, knowing the answer.

"I am." It replies, a mere echo. Death's voice was soft, easy as a lullaby.

I stare at the familiar figure in the corner of my bedroom. Amidst the fading wallpaper and the creaky floorboards it stood solemnly. So beautiful, as I've always thought, glowing with a gentle white light. My ...

_I tried to be good..._

I stared at my hands, covered in the evidence of my crime. I closed my eyes.

"How could you do this to me?" Michael's voice was barely a whisper. I felt my cheeks emblazon red with shame. "Answer me."

Words would not come to me. The only thing in my mind was that I had ruined it. I had ruined it all... The silence stretched between us.

"I tried not to, I really did." I ...

It started with a broken waterline, and a prompt fix shortly therafter. I heard him early that morning cranking away with a wrench and the occasional swear. But by midday, the water flowed from my faucet and I was able to enjoy a shower.

Having lived there for all of a week, I should have asked his name, if only to say thank you. He smiled all the same as I stepped out of the two-story duplex we ...
