Setting the bar beyond the stars...

Close to closing time...

If I cannot fix your broken heart, can I put mine in its place? Because these stars are not enough, and what our life was supposed to be, has left both of us in the lurch. We promised each other more, and who really is to blame, when both of us failed one another? Failed deeply and at the same time. 

It began raining harder and his thoughts drifted towards the waterfall from the night before. He wondered if the water might work itself into a frenzy around him and drag him down the cliff with it. Flash floods were becoming a common thing in his life; they came every time it rained. It kept coming down, harder and harder. He cozied up closer to the frigid rock and buried himself deeper between the rubble. By this point, the rain was building into streams and flowing off the rocks around him. He sat there in the fetal position, wondering if the rain was going to sweep him from his feeble perch and down into the dark abyss.

A dream, aloud...
