0 Reviews"This Summer created, a boy, of abject misery,"
The moment was pure perfection. The air was cool and smelled of the flowers around me. The night was adorned in a glittering light. The whole scene seemed to sparkle like a painting; too surreal to be true.
And you, my love, lay beside me. I looked in your eyes, pale blue colored eyes, and saw only beauty, only goodness. Your face, smooth and white, was illuminated by the light above us. A smile was all it took to make my heart go mad. Your delicate beauty filled my mind with thoughts of the imminent summertime.
I would never have taken my eyes off of you if it wasn't for the stars magnificent splendor. They filled the night with such a radiance that matched the sun.
"The stars are beautiful tonight," I whisper, my voice cutting through the silence of the night. Looking back at your breathtaking eyes, I noticed something I hadn't before. The
happiness had faded, replaced with something I had not seen in you before.
A word came to my mind but I brushed it aside; surely my love could not be jealous of the stars. They were nothing compared to your loveliness. Besides, you already had my heart; there was no need to envy the fragments of light above our heads.
"I can erase it for you dear," she spoke with a quiet resentment. I almost did not believe what you had said. Could someone really erase light?
"Erase the stars?" I spoke, unbelieving.
"Yes," You said, looking in my eyes. "I can give you darkness instead," You elegantly stood, letting your black hair flow down your back. Offering me your hand, I joined you;
standing on the lush green gray below us.
Stretching your hand towards the Heavens, your pale fingers extended to the stars. You waved your hand across the sky; as if you were painting the scene. The small stars light began to grow faint. The sky soon became a velvet expanse of nothing.
Looking back at you, fear clouded my face. Had I been imaging this? Was this some sort of dream? Would I wake from this nightmare, relieved to see the stars outside my windowpane?
"What have you done?" was all I could say. Words had failed me. Could you have silenced the stars?
"I excoriated the stars from the sky," you said, a smile on your full lips.
"Why?" I exclaimed, searching the sky above my head, praying that just one of those stars could live on.
"I had to," you say, your voice laden with sorrow. "Light is a poison, don't you see?"
"No, I don't understand!" I cried. "How could you destroy something so perfect?" you shook your head sadly.
"Because I have something better," you said and pulled me close. You wrapped your arms around me and kissed my lips; I closed my eyes and kissed them one last time.
This kiss was different than before. The few times I had stolen kisses your lips tasted of sugar and smelled of roses; you were soft in my arms. But now, you were cold and forceful. I felt as if every bit of warmth was being stripped of me.
You weren't just giving me darkness; you were stealing the frail light I had shared with you.
From then on, everything seemed to die. The grass around me looked burnt and dry; the flowers wilted and turned to gray. Your darkness ravaged this place; the darkness that I now possessed. I collapsed in your embrace, too weak to even stand. The darkness consumed me like fire.
You let me fall. You let me go and watched without remorse as I fell. My hand grazed the dead things around me; would I suffer the same fate?
"I thought you loved me," I said, my voice barely a whisper.
"No," was all you said. At the sound of those words, the world went dark as I lost my last bit of strength.
When they found me the next morning, I was alone and you were gone. Your darkness disappeared with the new pale light of morning. As I remained sleeping I heard them say,
"This Summer created, a boy, of abject misery,"
He was designed by you. You created the person I have become. So like a lost child I will hide from the people I once knew and look to find the one who made me. You made me.
Will you cry for me or will you cry with me? Will you cry with me or will you die with me?
Just cover your eyes and we'll die together, Summer.
