Harmonious_Echos Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Going back to before Again How did this all start? Mind spinning, writhing in pain, trying to find a solid place to stand I see a steering wheel in my hands, and No--I don't want to, don't make me see this again. Car running, headlights searing the night, but not quite far enough not clear enough to see the childish figure, walking in the road NO! take me back. I'd rather be insane. The reel still running in my brain unrelentlessly... a soft, unbearable thudding sound. the screech of brakes as, finally, my foot obeys my eyes and I'm running running running... my mind still can't wrap itself around that fact that she's fine barely bruised, still herself enough to use her bump for treats While I'm too shaken to eat. God, why do you scare me this way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please stop,My wild, wild darling--won't you?I don't know if my heart can take much more strain. Edited June 25, 2013 by Harmony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
