And because of you
I closed the door,
I took a drag on the invisible cigarette.
I waited.
I conveyed in the essence of your lack of presence
the guilt, I felt, at a twenty minute drive
and I ached and I held it together and I drank more alcohol
to let go of the burn that for the first time since I have been me
again, could not aid. I did not wish to run.
I wanted to fix you, with my purest of hands
and I would never run,
through your darkest hour,
I would never run.

I love this, though I couldn't quite grasp the meaning. And it may be to personal/ruin its charm to explain, and I understand that. So, from what I can decipher, I really like the story element of it. :]

Let's just say, in my less-than-mushy tone, I've become rather in tune with the emotions of a slightly burdened man. :)

I know for a fact that he appreciates everything that you've already done for him.

"I would never run" is my absolute favourite part, though the whole thing conveys that itching. It gets across the feeling so well, steadfast determination, or the wish to be that for someone. How I read it, anyway. Great work.

Thank you, J - It was definitely a want to run but with an undertone that I acknowledge that's a silly plan.
