Pounding, pounding, pulsating, breathing, dying needing, he always wanted more. Heartbeat, bare feet are walking for a lifetime.
The percussion of the mind -- starts the rhythm, bring the rhyme. One step, one step, one step, he foxtrots over the mine; sweeping, only to bomb on the climb. Discovering dirt and despair, feels tears and tares to challenge his cares.
He might have died. He would have, he could have, he shouldn’t have, and he did not. He’s on the other side. He holds a hand that’s not his own. It moves him and the need for life he owns.

Drabble #1: I do not want to live
“I do not want to live,” my Heart cries.
My Soul responds, “Do you want to die?”
“Please help me.”
“You have two choices: Stop being miserable or stop being.”
“I’m almost dead but I cannot die.”
“Walk away from everything that hurts you. Look at it from a distance. Never touch it again. Never feel it again.”
“What if I can’t?”
“You must.”
After time, my Heart returns, “I know what it feels like to want to die. I know what it feels like to want to live. I know which one feels better. I owe you everything Love.”
