Darkened Room

It’s not enough to be remembered by another family in passing, even if it is his best mate’s family.

He just . . . wants something that’s his.  Not something added on or handed down or cast off because it wasn’t wanted.  Even if that’s what he is. Cast off.

He wants to be wanted.  Even if he isn’t. Because, he’s fairly positive that he isn’t.  Wanted.

If he was, then maybe he wouldn’t be locked inside a stuffy, dark room, waiting for his next cup of cold soup to be passed through the flap.  

He just wants somewhere that he doesn’t have to try so hard to survive in.  He wants to be taken care of.

He scrubs his eyes clean at that thought.  He’s not getting enough liquids to waste them on tears.  

But his heart can still cry.  His heart can still break. His heart can still want.

And he wants so much, so much that he can’t even voice it all-- even if he weren’t pretending to not exist.  

It hurts.
