Monolith II

Revisiting the Monolith
I reached out my hand

The stones of the Monolith
Stripped away with the wind
Water splashed onto my face
Along with sharp rocks cutting me up

In the wind, I'm blown away
Along with my blood and my tears
I only wanted to see her again
But the wall I was blown back into-
Then my skull cracked open

And she was there
She cradled me in her arms
Like how it was before
It healed me
Her warm skin against my face
The blood stopped after that
