The Push

It happened on the steps, in the most incredible cold. It was the small of her back. Maybe.. the lack of her hold? And I never knew till then, what the darkness could do. How it could grip me like that, how it could rip me in two. A gesture so simple, it all happened so fast. It was over before my mind could process the past. And just as it goes, the irony, the fad. I realized too late that I wasn't that mad. It happened on the steps, it was the small of her back. And just like that... I could never go back.
