I was crawling my way up to the top of the nearest possible ledge.
The mountain only seemed to progressively get higher since you had simply left me.
Abandoned, no other options were open for me.
The moon grew bigger as the night slowly darkened and goosebumps ran up my sides.
This was the only place I could hope for, to get away from everything behind me.
Staring at me were the many stars that saw desperation in my attempts at reaching the top.
It was cold and the clouds swept across me like gentle hands guiding my way.
Whether or not I felt lost was uncertain, but I didn't feel very comfortable.
And yet I continued to make my way up; the snow pressing up against my skin.
I lifted myself over what I believed to be the final obstacle.
However, I was very wrong.
I had only accomplished reaching a small den.
It was easy to assume I could take shelter here, but I could feel my breath getting weaker.
The air was perpetually moving thinner into my lungs.
And the only thoughts left in my head were of you.
How ironic it was to be secluded here after everything that had happened.
The weather picked up and soon it began to snow.
A slushy scene of blizzard forming throughout the area escaped my view while inside the den.
My skin quickly rushed to a bright red comparable to the brightest roses on Valentine's Day.
There was no hope for me, and for someone as apathetic as I was at that moment, it was okay.
I was always scared I'd die alone, always thinking about how everything just slowly slipped away.
But this was actually it, I was actually here, and this was actually the end.
It was hard to keep my eyes opened.
I clenched my arms tightly around myself, struggling to keep warm.
Why did you look at me with those empty eyes, whispering words of neglect, leaving me for dead?
I tried to survive and look where it got me.
Trapped within a dark abyss hidden on a highway to the sky.
The wind ran through my hair like a wild dream and soon my eyelids sleepily sunk downward.
What would happen if I could never open my eyes again and no one even knew where I went?
An array of black and white movie strips reeled around my head.
A vision of you walking towards me in a suit and tie.
You handed me a flower and bowed me, "Goodbye".
Faster, the clips spun off into a disorderly manner.
And everything went grey.
