feels like slipping.
like she's letting go.
"Don't leave me," I plead.
tighten my arms around her.
hold her closer.
but she's becoming less solid.
like mist.
like moonlight on water.
impossible to keep.
the flowers around us start to fade.
petals curling in on themselves.
turning gray.

stay.
please stay.
but she's dissolving.

my arms close around empty air.
the moon-place shatters.
breaks apart like glass.
shards of silver light scattering into void.
and I'm falling.
falling.
back into body.
back into pain.
