(00:38) - The dark obscurity of rain and night speaks with the deafening sound of
absence. He is alone… walking directionless… retracting from the inevitable.... He knows he must return,
but needs a moment to escape, pulled by the force between what the mind knows and what the heart resists.
(1:43) - He is back at the hospital, unsure when or how he
had arrived. The innocent song of her voice beckons him. And there she is. He clasps her hand tightly,
so cold. He grips tighter, to keep her warm, to protect… Tender but desperate words stumble from
his mouth as her complexion draws silent. Senses are muffled by a torrent of raging thoughts. Her hands are so cold.
(2:40) - Time ebbs nearly to a standstill. It
aches to breathe. He grips her hands tighter to his chest, letting hope communicate wordlessly… but the words
fall away.
He closes his eyes, bracing against the rushing tide
of every cherished memory. The pane of sanity shatters.
(3:31) - Away you drift...
I drown.
