Because of You

I fell to my knees.

I sobbed.

I looked up for a split second,

and I swore I saw you smile.

The fire running through my veins took over.

I thrashed all around the small room,

And I may have hit my head.

I can't remember.

You started laughing and my limbs reacted as I crumbled again.

The dew of steam from my face had not yet begun to hault.

Was it seconds, minutes, or hours?

It felt like days.

You did this to me.

I am like this because of you.

I am here because of you.

The doctor entered the small room.

I saw a light,

and that is all I can remember.
