Starring at the dark night sky that stretches out in the distance above me my mind remains blank momentarily. The flashing lights from the police below leave a pulsing glow upon my face complementing the pale icy look presented by my regret. Vivid colors blur as tears built up once again and begin tearing radical lines down my cheeks. My arms spread like an eagle in flight my only movement is a soft shift as the wind speed increases. Thoughts reflecting recent events pour into my head and my mind tries again to find a different path.
It started last week, without any warning I did something that didn't make any sense. I tried to talk to someone I couldn't, and I knew it. At first things weren't so bad, in fact they were great. It seemed nothing was wrong at all, and perhaps I wasn't going to need those pills anymore, to get me through the night. Then things got ugly fast.
First I made a mistake, assumed too much and said the wrong thing. Someone else had to take it the wrong way and wasn't happy with me being around. I didn't want to go and argued my case. She bought my story but he didn't. He saw through my disguise and knew what I was going to do. I was told I needed to leave, she said she didn't want me to go. He told her to be quite, that was his mistake.
She left him, soon we were a pair and doing things. Then I found out who he was. I tried to make sure he wasn't going to hurt her, I went to his house. He wasn't there so I went looking at his work but he hadn't shown, so now I knew what I needed to now. He wasn't happy and he was after her. I called her but she didn't answer, and went to her house but she wasn't there. I found her at work, but I was too late.
He'd been gunned down outside in his escape, she was dead. What could I do. My mind went over all options, time travel, DNA restructuring, everything wouldn't do anything to save her now.
I glanced down once and saw a detective pointing and ordering a man around. What he was doing I didn't know. They tried to blame me, said I medaled in something that I shouldn't have. They were right, at the time I didn't care. Now I suppose I should have thought about this ahead of time.
The roof door behind me started to thunder loudly. I imagine they think they can stop me, it's too bad they haven't thought about it long enough. As the door slammed open and armed men flooded the rooftop shouting orders I stepped out over the edge. Quickly the force the planet commands gripped my leg and pulled my fast towards the ground. Watching the people stop, blank stares as if in awe filled the street and while the pavement lost focus and blended with all other color and shade I pictured her face one last time. I always knew she'd be my downfall, I just never thought it'd be hers that lead to mine. Mustering one last action before I hit the ground a tear leaves my eye.
She sits down next to me, and asks me why I'm crying. I look at her, recount the vision I just had, and out of nothing but pure love for her I shout in anger, "Leave me alone!" With that she gets up and leaves with her boyfriend while I put my head in my hands and sob quietly to myself.
