737Snake.... The same snake I had in my dreams whenever i tried to sleep peacefully. It coiled around my nake, squeezing the breath from my lungs until I could hardly remember how it feels like to be free.
Hopefully it was dream. Bad one. But i always found you by my side every time i woke up from that nightmare, the same nuisance (wife) I had to put up for the sake of your wealth. For luxury it promised.
6 month. 1 disease. Limited days. For me it felt like eternity, but never have i imagined that you were living just to witness the next sunrise.
You were happy enough to wake up alive, yet you feared...what if one day that little heart of yours, that little bomb tickling in your chest would finally reach its end?
You didn't tell me how bad it was. Not really. Because even if i could do something i never wanted. I wanted that time bomb to explode, to get all your money...
I despised the sound of your heartbeat as it remained me that you were still breathing..
I Thought so
But..for you each beat was warning! Each flutter reminder of death. Like something inside you might rapture, spill, shatter....one day.
I wore mask of devoted husband, while secretly counting my blessings in bank.
I fell so low, reaching the depth of..hell itself.
But you never were snake, never love...
You were that embrace that sheltered me when i didn't even know i was so desperate to be held. You were hand that kept me steady, preventing from being choked by my own greed...
Still I thought you wanted to make me feel bad!! To make me suffer from weight of conscious.
.....Yet all you wanted was DAMN TIME... More night in my cuddles, more love. God, You wanted more of ME.
You weren't worried about dying, just afraid of loneliness it offered.
But, I'm scared.Scared that one day your warmth would be replaced with eternal coldness, and i would be forced to live with memories while your body would be resting in soil instead of my embrace..
