Promises

--

You told me you loved me. You weren't lying. You told me cared. You also weren't lying. You promised to stay by my side forever and never waver. You lied. You promised you'd never do something stupid to save my life. You broke it. You swore you'd never die as long I stayed by your side. Then why do you feel so cold right now as I hold you in my arms?

You promised you'd wipe my tears away and hold me when I needed it. I need you so badly now, where are you? You promised me my days of loneliness were over. Where is everyone? You promised that you would love me unconditionally and that we'd be together forever. Why aren't you replying? You promised me I'd never be in pain ever again. Then what's this feeling that's running up and down my body, causing me to shake, and causing my heart to break?

You were an idiot, to run in front of that shot and take a bullet through your heart. Why did you do such things when you know I couldn't die? Why must I live and you die. I don't want to be here alone without you. You've broken so many promises to me. Yet I still love you and want you. But now I can never have you…

You stir weakly, but I know it's hopeless. All I can do is try and keep you as warm as possible till the worst comes to pass. You cough and blood spills out of your mouth, bright red, an almost evil color. I wipe your forehead with a handkerchief you gave me as a gift. I can't stop the tears flowing out of my eyes. I clean your wounds silently with wetted clothe from my tattered jacket. It was hard to see just how long you would last.

I could already tell that my mornings would no longer be as bright. I could already tell my evenings were about to get darker. You notice my tears and weakly try to brush them away. Can't you see it's futile, I wanted to scream. Even now, on the verge of death you were trying to keep those promises. It hurt deeply to see I could do nothing to save you. I had hundreds of years of living and I couldn't even prevent your death.

You coughed again and said something. I tried to focus, but the chaos in my mind was too great. The blood was pounding in my skull and I couldn't stop it. I was about to lose control. I tried to soothe your pain but all I could do was wipe the blood away and keep you as comfortable as possible. Why you? Why'd I have to fall in love with you? We we're so happy these days and now you've thrown it all away to save me from some stupid burglar. An absolutely stupid way to die! I killed him for you though, enacted my revenge.

Our contract… I've almost forgotten… Do you want to know my wish then? You nod slowly and struggle to hold your cough back. I tell you, whisper it in your ear. You shudder and groan. You gaze at me helplessly, and I gaze back at you sadly. All I wanted was a child. A child with you, a child that could live in peace with the world. A child to confirm that I was indeed human. All I wanted was something to show our relationship. But now, I had nothing… You slowly faded away. Your name would soon fade away from time. But it would never fade away from my heart…

I stood up, weary, and gazed at your cold and non-moving body. It was surreal to see your death. I was so sure you'd be the one to surpass it. I guess I was wrong. I walked into the sunset and lamented my loss…
