淵ふち fuchi
deep pool, deep water, abyssPART THREE: ankles deep
the night was warm
i couldn't sleep.
i glanced at my phone
1:57
i threw my duvet off the bed and sat up facing the window.
memories played in my mind
of mama
of that day
of my promise that
i'd managed to break.
look now.
look at what i've become.
you're just a fragment of my broken imagination
i'm just an empty shell.
outside the leaves rustled in the warm breeze
making me sleepy
but still i couldn't sleep.
something cold, thick, hard
was growing inside of me.
a dread
deep in my stomach
making me nervous.
what happens now?
what is the point without her?
Okkasan, i miss you.
if it continued like this
Otousan would soon be gone too.
