Falling for my Saviour
I pressed my nails into my palms until the sting replaced the memory.
“I’m not yours just let me go” I whispered again, louder this time, eyes on the ceiling. The words trembled out of me, soft and shaking, like they’d forgotten how to stand on their own. For a heartbeat I almost believed them. But the room stayed silent, and that small red light kept blinking, patient as always slow, steady, a quiet heartbeat that didn’t belong to me.
Somewhere far away, unseen, a second light blinked in perfect rhythm, as if the world itself had decided to argue.
