Trigger warning!!
- Mentions of death & suicide
---------------------------------------------------
I was sitting on the roof, I stared up at the sky "why did things have to happen the way they did?" I asked myself. The cold air reminds me of how I lost the warmth of my family. I wanted nothing more than to go home but there was no home for me to go to because I couldn't protect them.
My breathing started to get heavy and I began sniffling causing water vapor to appear in the freezing cold fall air, before I knew it cold tears began running down my pale bloodshot face.
I brought my knees to my chest and began shouting.
"Why did they all have to die?" "Why couldn't I save them?" "It's all my fault." "I'm the reason they're dead."
They used to hate it when I would cry but here I am balling my eyes out on the rooftop of an abandoned cabin, they're gone forever and no amount of pain and suffering would bring them all back. I've failed them and I'm disappointed with myself. I know they're in a better place now but I can't help being selfish wishing they were here with me. "Please take good care of them." I prayed as a singular tear drop fell from my right eye.
I just wanted to shrivel up and die right then and there but I have to keep living for their sake. Due to not realizing how long I was crying the sunlight peeked through the deciduous Autumn trees."It's dawn." I said whilst I climbed down from the isolated cabin.
I landed on the slightly damp crunchy leaves and wiped away my tears. I took a whiff of the crisp fall air, and started to find my way out of the dimly lit forest, " I can't give up just yet or they'll be disappointed." I said to myself.
