Endless Sleep.

There has been so much of my heart that I wanted to give you sweet Rachel, so many words that were left unspoken. Words that have all been swept away by the cold bitter air, until all that remains here is this terrible silence. It locks me away from you, away from the world that I once knew, and to find you again, to see your face I must search through the fragments of my memories, memories of another time, another place when I failed you sweet Rachel. They seems so dark, these images from our past, almost as if I am watching a black and white movie in an old picture show. I remember the party, the revelry, New Years Eve It was, out with the old in with the new, when I close my eyes I can almost smell your Chanel, you were wearing the perfect red dress, you looked stunning as usual. It was all so perfect, until we decided to go home, I had a bit too much to drink, I should never have driven anywhere. These scars that I still carry Rachel, they burn me to my soul, I see the headlights, through the rain, for a moment I think that they are in the wrong lane but no, the fault is mine.


I try to swerve, but it is already way past too late, the truck hits us almost head on, I can feel the Chevrolet flying through the air, twisting, turning as if in one flawless motion. I don’t recall where it landed, only that when I opened my eyes they were loading you into the Ambulance, the Crows tell me though that you somehow survived Rachel, and that you have gotten on with your life. But I need you to know that I will love you my wife, forever.. And though I haven’t seen you since that night, you live here in my memory, in my heart, forever.. It is still raining here, it never seems to stop, but through it all I will go on with this struggle, even through the times when I long to hold you once again, I persevere.. Wherever you are my sweet Rachel you must know that you are always here in my heart, I so long for the day when we are together again, until then I will wait for you for all eternity my love.. Here on Crows Crossing Road.
