Infection

The infection spreads through my veins moving slowly through like a dark sludge. There is no escape from this. All I can do is hold on until he gets here for me like he promised he would. I tried so hard to escape my fate. The last thing I wanted to do was leave him here alone in the war between all of us. I don’t know if I can hold on anymore I’m feel so heavy my heartbeat is fading. I know I’m going to die. Just a little long I tell myself until he gets here. I see him in the distance running towards me covered in blood no matter. I’m slipping away it won’t be much longer. He lunges to the ground holding me in his arms. I hold him tight against me whispering with my final breath “Live because I will be back for you. Live because I cannot, because I love you.” As I go I hear his screams I fall into darkness, but I  find peace knowing our love will bring us back together one day.
