Edge of Heaven

[Jason Rimbaud]

Edge of Heaven

By: Jason R.

 

I awoke to the sound of rain

Drumming on the roof of my red convertible

A bottle of vodka ringing in my head

And the blonde that gave me this nightmare

Lying beside me on the seat

 

My eyes focus on the bottle of pills

Lying on the floor next to the accelerator

Empty

Much like the place where my heart used to be

 

My mouth is dry

My lips cracked and coated with some unknown substance

Wiping my mouth with the back of my hand

The memory of the previous night comes crashing back

 

The sex was rough and sweaty

Violence mixed with lust that could only be fulfilled

By the emptying of ones own essence into a willing receptacle

 

I awoke to the sound of rain

Drumming on the roof of my red convertible

The droplets rolling down the window

Matching the tears falling down my cheeks

 

A pack of cigarettes rests on the dashboard

I grab one

And draw the dark harsh smoke deep into my lungs

 

Glancing over at the blonde sleeping on the seat beside me

My eyes run over the contour of his lithe body

Already the beginnings of several bruises

Purple mixed with yellow against the pale skin of his back

In his sleep he moves slightly

I imagine him dreaming about the pleasures

Pleasures I awoke inside him last night

 

I awoke to the sound of rain

Drumming on the roof of my red convertible

The drumming matches the shallow heartbeat

Of the blonde lying beside me

 

I shove his legs off my lap

And casually touch the end of my cigarette against his bare leg

Gentle almost caressing

Just the tip causing him to moan

And curl up into a ball on the front seat beside me

 

Images of us floats across my subconscious

Images that he no doubt will remember for years to come

Flexing my arms above my head

I wince as pain shoots up my left arm

Looking I see several deep scratches snaking up my arm

Starting from my wrist and ending just above my armpit

Another memento from an endless night

 

I awoke to the sound of rain

Drumming on the roof of my red convertible

I awoke and remember everything

This is really good. Very dark. A bit disturbing. Perfect.
