Ninety-Nine Lives.

"Is this the line between Heaven and Hell? Is this the line where I get up and walk out?"

Watch the moon wax and wane.
Feel me do the same.
Strength?
No.

Rings echo
in an empty house.
A short beep,
a silence,
no message.

It was a dream and
I awake and
I am alone.

Torn apart by choices and by fate.

We opened each other
and
lived each other
and
breathed each other
and
knew each other
and
saw each other
and
loved.

Rings echo
in an empty house.
A short beep,
a silence,
no message.

Pieces missing from my puzzle,
and all I can do is
cry and try to
find them.
99 sheep make for sleepless nights
and held breath.

Rings echo
in my empty heart.
A short beep,
a silence,
no one there
at all.


Vanessa.
