What Matters In The End

She stood there, on the other side of the road, watching him. Her eyes had a blank stare, a haunting gaze that could petrify.  "That is what matters in the end", he whispered to himself. He looked at her full of anger and sadness. Lost in his thoughts with his eyes fixed on her. He couldn't look anything but her. Small drops of water coming down on their heads. It was like heaven wanted them to cool down and relax so they could see their self destruction. A fatal attraction that was never going to be good for anyone. That's what she thought about them. A heaven sent gift was the verdict for the opossite side. A blank page that never existed and the most wonderful yet short memories combined together. In his fist he carried the dream he had for both of them. However, her fists were open for the rain to wash away. He wanted her to know that she could grant her wishes. Fight for her. No matter how far away he was or how difficult the goal may be. He wanted her to know that but the wind was too loud for her to hear his whisper.

The rain blurred his vision more and more but he didn't want to open his fists. "As time has passed little by little, I have come to realize that nothing of what I'm seeing is real. At least I think so." He stated nervously. His vision blurred even more, at the point where he couldn't see her face anymore. He wanted to see her past-her now and future to come. He wanted to be there to protect her. Mostly, to protect her from herself. To stop the crying and self loathing. To stop the pain and her guilt. To hold her once again in his arms and captivate her with his words. That's all he ever had. Words to fend the pain away and heal her wounds but deep inside him he knew- words are never enough. Nothing is good enough but all he could do is try and try again until the words reach her ears through the dreadful wind that was blowing. He could see his world twisting and twisting without an end in sight. A fade laughter could be heard from the other side as the rain kept  falling on him, making him weak.

He opened his fists to wipe away the rain from his eyes and there was nothing on the other side. All this time it was just him and his dream that just let go thus wiping away the weakness he had, waging war with himself once again. It was always him, just him and nobody else. A mirror with two sides. One blinded by a noble cause and a second one full of savage instincts and nightmares. A hellish symphony shifting from major to minor cords.

"Τhat's the only thing that matters in the end." He said once again.

"Nothing matters in the end."
