Epiphany has struck me;
Love it still I shall.
Caught across the tint of her cheek, my knife catches shallow and draws no life from her bones. She has now found herself at the same point as Saummerand, as the boy from Eleven. I am dangling her over the waters with one finger, my lips inches from her ear spewing false promises under the guise of making the time pass easy.
My sister was a proponent of the same type of love— nothing existed in her mind that she did not truly believe. I had believed my soul was made of every tall tale she told me, for there was no word that she spoke that I did not take as the definition of absolute truth. She was a savior in the place of a world gone cold; she was the sound of the first note of my favorite song.
“Please, tell me your name.”
But she does not give me the time to remember before catching me once more with her knife, the blade crossing my calf and drawing small droplets of blood. I shove her away, putting distance between our bodies while trying to think of how to tell her that I am nobody worth remembering, especially in the wake of death.
With mind turned over once— twice— I step back to her and kneel in front of her. Taking the collar of her shirt in my left hand, I bring it forward until I’m looking directly at her with no space for error, “If you really want to know, my name is Shelby Leviane.”
I let go gently, hoping that she will find the strength to stand, I take knife in hand once more and hope that I will have to do no more to this girl than was necessary, “And for the record— if it matters much anymore— I am sorry.”
I will always be sorry— apologies will never stop leaving my lips.[ table: rave ]
