the other in me
the others voice floated out of the darkness of his mind
“youre an asshole you know that?”
he grimaced in the blackness, “yes” he said gruffly, attempting to cut the conversation short
the other would not let it go
“she came to you for help, and you yelled at her”
he turned over in his bed, pulling the covers up over his head trying to block the voice”she hurt me, she used me”
the other laughed
“oh, she hurt you, did you ignore the fact that she hurt herself?”
he closed his eyes, shutting them tight against the darkness as tears threatened to fall, tears of regret, of longing “no, i…i didnt”
the others voice came closer, he could feel the others breath on the blankets,could sense the weight close in above his body
“we still love her, dont we?”
he shivered as he felt a hand begin to press upon his throat
“i…d.don…”
the other squeezed tighter his breath hot and rank on his face
“tell the truth damn it”
the tears fell freely as he gasped out truthfully, and without doubt “yes.yes we do”
