I messed up again when I tried
With all you did nothing has changed

Bodil stared at the now pale form laying on white in front of him, white blankets draped over his limp form. One partly tanned skin was now a waxen pale color. Blue veins line his skin, dark and clear against the paleness.

Crisp white bandages binding broken flesh, holding together until it mend. A heart monitor beeped with every beat of his head, an IV unit piercing the skin of his arm, the clear fluid dripping into his veins.

An oxygen mask covered his lower face, warm breath misting the plastic with every exhale. Bodil felt fresh tear burn his eyes, his heart ached seeing his love like this.

"Oh Sky, why?"

He was helpless to do anything, there was nothing he could do, no way to awaken his lover, nor to wake him from his sleep.


I cracked my head and broke my heart

Tears, warm and moist, rand down the sides of his face to land of the white sheets. Bodil held one of Sky's slender hands in both of his own, it was still so soft and warm, but so thin.

"I'm so sorry, please wake up."

He reached into his pocket an withdrew a small black case, the slight fuzz of the case rubbing gently against his hand. A promise he never got to make, joy he never got to give, a plan shattered in the blink of an eye. He lifted the lid with his thumb, it flipped open without a fuss.

Resting in more black was a ring made of gold, a small shard of diamond resting on the top, like a drop of dew, or a tear.

Sky was covered in clean bandages, his redden brunet hair lay beneath him like a pebble of reddish-brown, or bronze.


And I don't feel the need to go on
I was happier singing along the way
As everything just falls apart
'Cause everything just fell apart for me

He was so lost in his thoughts, in the regrets and misery that stabbed at his heart, the he didn't notice when slender fingers twitched and curled, when golden eyes that had been closed for so long finally blinked open, when Sky's even breathing changed from the deep breaths of deep sleep to shallower ones.

It was the quickening of the heart monitor's beeping that pulled him out of his mind to hear a quiet and slightly hoarse voice.

"Bodil, I'm sorry."


We finish and wish we could start again
   So woe it me
  It all fell apart

"Sky? Sky!" Bodil cried.

He was overjoyed to feel his beloved finally awake. He wrapped his arms around Sky when he finally sat up, new tears of joy and hope streaming down his cheeks.

"Bodil, I-" Sky stopped when he was the golden ring resting among the black.

"Oh Bodil, yes!" he whispered.

Gently he took Sky's hand in his own, slipping the golden circle onto his finger. Sky was crying, tears of joy streaming down his face.

"I'm sorry, I wish-" Sky was cut off again, this time by Bodil shifting his mask and kissing him.

Sky leaned into the kiss, this was how it should be, a moment of nothing but love. Breaking apart, the two stared at each other, eyes bright with love.

The next moment, everything fell apart. Sky's heart monitor when ecstatic, the beeping became uneven, as did Sky's breathing.

"I'm sorry, so sorry, but this is where I have to say goodbye, I love you more than I could ever say-"

Sky fell forward, eyes closed, a lout and long 'Beeeeep' filled the room.


I cracked my head and broke my heart
Everything just comes down
It falls around me

There was nothing anyone could have done for him.

Thought the doctors tried their best, Sky passed on. He had died with a goodbye, a goodbye to the man he loved.

The promise had been made, but it had been broken by death. He had died happy, happy and loved.

Bodil didn't, couldn't, stop crying, even when the others rushed to the hospital, frantic and confused. He had gotten to propose, and Sky had said yes, they had gotten a moment where nothing else had mattered, but in the end it all had shattered with his goodbye.


But I cracked my head and broke my
I cracked my head and broke my
Everything just falls a...

Sky's funeral was held a week later, a chilly, but clear day. The wind had been only a breath.

Everyone who had been close to Sky came, they all mourned for their lose. Sky had been buried his black, with the ring still on his finger.

He had looked so peaceful, like he might just wake up and laugh. Bodil lingered, a yellow flower in his head, the type Sky had loved to much.

"Sky, I'll be strong and live on for the both of use, I promise." he vowed, a soft smile on his lips. With one last look at the tombstone, the words "Sky, a strong leader and warm friend, he will be missed, but not forgotten", then placed the flower down.
