like punching in a dream, breathing life into a nightmare



It is different than it was before.

As you slip into the earth after the ghost of a man, you smile, recalling the fear that you had felt for him (as much a stranger to you then as he is now) as you watched him disappear, so certain that he would never find his way back. The fear as you blindy followed him, the taste of excitement that ebbed away the worst of it, offering memories of when you were too naïve, too new, to feel anything but untouchable. Your steps are surer now as you find your way, the path steep, narrow, pebbles dislodging before you as your weight shifts carefully atop them. The air that finds you is colder than you remember, giving pause to your movements as you breathe in the damp emptiness of the earth. Your heart twists in its loneliness, anger with yourself, your stupidity, bubbling beneath the misplaced disappointment.

Where you had been so sure, so certain, seeking out all of the places that had meant something to you and finding him gone would only put to rest the ache in your heart, chase the ghosts (his face, the smell of home, his touch and the way it always made you feel so whole) from your head. But now? You breathe slowly as you push yourself forwards, embraced suddenly by the openness of the cavern, the coolness of the earth, the warm glow of the lava.

But not him, and there is no sense of rest within your tangled heartstrings, only more hurt.

You only can stare at the empty room, watch as the orange light dances across the rough stone faces, idly admire the simplistic, raw beauty as you spill into the room, quiet and withdrawn. It is not the same as it had been before—not as wild, as tangibly intoxicating as it had been with him next to you, a stranger pressed so dangerously close to you, enough to touch, to feel his steady heartbeat beneath the sandstone and sinew, quiet near the frantic beating of your own. Lips twitch downwards as your brows furrow, eyes narrowing as you pull away from where he stood, to the falls, trying your best to swallow the lump that has found your throat, fight against the grief that has swelled, swallowed your heart all over again.
