Someone Different Part 3
The rest of the way is easy. The flesh seems to just tear away effortlessly as you cut through the rest.
Their hands no longer grip you, for they lay on the ground before you. They kneel disheartened on the ground begging you not to walk away, for their voice is all they have left to hold on with. You stand there and let them beg you. For days, weeks, months, you let them beg. Until their voice finally wears thin. They've torn holes in their throats trying to say what they need to, to hold on to what they've fought so relentlessly for.
You can no longer hear them. You no longer feel their grip. The one who promised you that they would never let you go, finally did. They won't even whisper words of love to you anymore. How could they? They promised you! They swore they would always love you! "I knew it was all a lie!!!" You proclaim. "Everyone always gives up on me.. everyone.... even you."
You look down at the hands laying on the ground. You now justify the broken bones. The pieces were deservedly severed. "They swore they'd never let me go. At least now they can never hurt another person again."
