The Vanishing of Sidney Hall Page #9

---

such a long time

Then lonesome would mean nothing

To me at all

Breathe. Honey? Honey?

Sweetheart

Mel? Mel? Mel

Wake up. Come on, breathe.

Oh, no.

Once Melody left me,

it dawned on me,

looking out at all those

wonderful city lights,

that I was just one of those

millions of city lights,

a tiny little pixel,

buried within

the white noise of life,

blinking on for just

a brief second in time.

I didn't want to be a martyr.

I wanted to be nobody.

And I walked out

of that apartment

with only the clothes

on my back.

To become nobody.

I never returned again.

I just keep replaying

that scene.

Hoping against hope

that the ending would change.

That she would just wake up

And say, "Sidney

"I'm not leaving you just yet.

"I'm still pregnant."

Sidney.
