(i'm) the ghost in the back of your head
119w | sojin (girl's day) + inati (dmtn/dalmatian)

because you see, she tells him. (and he does not see) i’m just a shade. i’m not tangible. i don’t breathe, i don’t sleep, i don’t eat, i don’t – i’m not – human. you, you are human. you are human.

opens a window with shaking fingers. he tries, he really does, to listen. he doesn’t. the light comes through, blinding him, blinding her (if she could still feel that sensation), turning her white-gold, everything but twenty four karats and silver.

she is not crying. he doesn’t expect her to. (figments don’t cry. figments don’t cry) but you are real.

places his hand on top of hers. he feels the cold marble of the table top instead.

and that’s what matters.

(sorry) if i smothered you

light bulbs dim. flicker, die, burn out completely. (explode) he replaces the one in the kitchen before it can make that weird sound – disturbing sound, the kind where something inside shifts and bounces off the exterior. she hates it. sits on the countertop while he works, too close for comfort. (comfort was never close) he is tall. stares at his arm reaching up. he is tall.
