ELVAINA ECKHART
i see a ghost out on the water
After they called her name, I fell through the door and laid on the floor for I don't know how long. Time slipped through my fingers and everything blurred into one another- seconds minutes hours seconds hours minutes. I thought my heartbeat would keep the time, guide me with its steady beat, but my pulse was anything but. It would teeter from excruciatingly slow to agonizingly fast- my heart is a fickle thing.
I found my feet again, and when I did, I sat on the couch for about an hour staring at my violin on its stand, wanting to play and play and play until the tears on my cheeks dried, but I didn't have the strength.
Iridium. My eyes lock onto her figure in the doorway, and suddenly I find my body moving on its own, seeking the shelter of her arms. They reach out to hers, and when they wrap around her body, I seem to have lost all the air in my lungs.
(What's new?)
Silence. I am submerged in it. I am drowning. It's like my lips have been stitched shut by cruel hands and I cannot speak, I can only hug her harder. My grip serves as my voice. It says, "Never let me go. Please."
