myloveshine. July 24. Tag to “A Hole In The World”.
It’s a half life that he lives now. Now that she is gone (but not gone, really – her body lives on where her soul does not), his world is a mass of pain and remembering and wishing they had had just a little more time.
They did have some time together for which his is grateful but it will never be enough. It will never be enough that they loved because she was taken from him far too soon and for what? Knox’s sick obsession with his God, Illyria? Is that really why she is no longer alive and well by his side?
It all seems so pointless. Death should have meaning. Shouldn’t it?
Hers most definitely does not, contrary to what Knox said before bullets put an end to his pathetic existence. Hers was a sacrifice by a man whose right to live was not, in his opinion, worth much at all. Hers was a life stolen.
It’s a half life that he lives now, without her bubbly, infectious personality, bright grin and her amazing intellect to make him whole. He knows it will continue to be so until the day he dies and is able to join her in the afterlife if there is such a thing. Only then will he be able to find peace again.
