Still I feel alone, empty without her.My heart beats faster still, I postponement sightedness him, first in front of me then behind, hes going to hurt her. How can it have come to this, why did she have to leave me, things were so perfect. I can see him pro perly no, theres no mistaking it hes just across the road.Weaving in and out of the yellow taxis I think Im getting close-hauled to him. Im passing so many trees, the more I pass the less I can work out there shape, im losing all definition. Everything seems a blur. The smoky exhausts of the double-parked cars have made the air heavy. Yet even with all the traffic I still feel distant, this place thats been home for so long curtly seems a whole new world to me. This is what I imagine it to be without her, lost forever in a world Ill never be able to clasp, she grounds me, helps me through life, well she is my life. The noise of the city is beginning to fade away as my path leads me away from the busy streets, hes here. I keep seeing him but then hes gone, maybe my mind is playing tricks on me.Between my footsteps and my loss of breath my mind is beginning to wonder, back to the day I first met her, when she wouldnt even notice me whatever I did, I think she changed when she met me , I dont know , but I can imagine. I think something changed in her after I met him too, it was as if she knew I knew about him.My heart shunted when I saw her, I froze for a second, her blonde hair blew gently in the wind, the full moon was shining through the branches of central park, casting eerie shadows on the path she was walking. She held her umbrella with one hand, while attempting to light a cigarette with the other, her black stiletto heels tapped steadily along the bridge.There he is, lying in wait. Nows my chance. She just looked right at him, I can see it in his eyes, she knew him, and she knows what hes going to do. He flicked out the knife that had been gripped in his hand so tightly all this way, he can see me in its reflection, hes smiling.Shes dropped her cigarette onto the floor and is running, hes running after her, and I after him. Her heels are sinking into the wet ground, hes catching her, but Im catching him. As he wrapped his tired hands around her neck I b egan to struggle with him, I begged him to stop, and so did she. Her body grew heavy with the dread of what was to come. The knife fell to the ground, I had control, Id beaten him. I released her from my grip, brushed back my scraggly hair, grabbed her hand, tried to feel for a pulse. There wasnt one. Then I looked at her hand, it glistened at me, like her eyes used to, her ring she still had it on. Maybe she did still love me. I cried for her to come back to me, the end came anyway.Then I felt it, the ice-cold air flowing over me, around me and through me, she was dead, he had killed her, I had killed her.
