Tear Soaked Pillow

As the pillow lies there quietly it contemplates on asking the question, why? why are you crying? what are you saying with those blood-shot eyes? what's being muffled into this brown cloth of mine? than the pillow realizes why this man is also asking why through those muffled cries she hears the name merry and knows all is not fine she met her before one night she slept on her the pillow knows she wanted more she listened to the man on nights when he was in she heard the laughs, she heard the fights she knows the man was happy with her in his life as the pillow listens to the man cry she can't help but feel sorry because he takes out a knife the pillow starts crying "please don't end it now, you're hurting I understand but please I'm here now, punch me, kick me, release your tears into me, I'm here for you when you need rest I'm here for you please DON'T STICK THAT IN YOUR CHEST!" the man can't hear the pillow pleading the man gets angry and curses at god "WHY IS THIS REPEATING?!" the pillow stops and thinks "hes talking about Jessica and the last time he was on the brink" be careful what you do to people, especially the one you love because one day that special person will die with or without your love it finally happened, the end of the path on an inevitable course: the man took up the knife put it to his chest and ended his life with his last dying breath he reaches for the pillow he kisses her and puts her to his chest she starts crying because she's alone as a blood soaked pillow
