Whiskey Lullaby
Briana walked into the kitchen. Enough was enough. She needed to talk
to Kevin. Her heart had been broken enough times trying to find the right
way to tell him. She just had to do it. Silently she asked for strength.
After all her happiness was at stake here.
"Kevin honey. We have to talk."
The handsome young man looked up from the newspaper that he had
been reading. His luxurious red hair fell lightly over his left shoulder. A
gentle smile was on his face as he gazed into his true love's eyes.
Briana sat down in a chair across from her man. The least she could
do was have the decency to tell him face to face. "Kevin, we've been
together for two years now."
"Two years and four months tomorrow. But who's counting, right."
Kevin's smile broadened as he stared into the beautiful blue eyes before
him.
Briana stared at her hands. This was just so hard for her to do.
"But I don't feel like," Kevin's smile faltered he did not like where this
conversation was going. "I'm getting enough from this relationship. Please
don't be mad."
"Why? Is it something I did?" Briana shook her head. "Can't we work
it out?" Again another shake.
"Forgive me Kevin. Please." Quickly Briana stood, kissed his
forehead and walked out of the kitchen. She could not stand it anymore.
//She put him out
Like the burning end
Of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart//
Kevin just sat and stared into space. He was lost in his own little world. As the words sunk in a single, yet precious, tear fell down his pale face.
---
Later that day Briana was packed and waiting for her taxi. As
Briana stood at the doorway her precious eyes stared at the man that she
had lived with for two years. The only words that she said were, "farewell
my love." With that Briana turned and was whisked away from him.
Kevin cried as the yellow taxi sped down the road. Two years had
been flushed down the drain. Somehow he would have to find a way to forget
her.
//He spent his whole life
Trying to forget
We watched him drink
His pain away
A little at a time//
Almost a month now Kevin had been alone. Briana had left him the
house and car but these meager processions meant nothing to him. All he
wanted was her. Even after all of the hurt that Briana had put him through
Kevin still had a longing for her deep in his heart.
Kevin's once shiny, livid, red hair was now dull and limp. The red
had almost faded into a dull brown. His beauty never seemed to radiate as
much anymore.
Looking of pictures of him younger made Kevin almost long to go
into the past. Slowly he placed the picture back on the mantel. Sighing
Kevin went to the kitchen and pulled out a half empty bottle of whiskey.
Taking a long swig he retreated to the plush green chair. There he
allowed his mind to run with her memories. With each memory was another
swig of whiskey. Ever since she had left this was the nightly routine for
Kevin.
//But he never could
Never get drunk enough
To get her off his mind//
He sat in his chair and stared at a picture of Briana. It had been taken a week before they had broken up. Staring at the picture Kevin made up his mind. Going over to the desk he quickly scribbled a crude note and turned off the light.
//Until the night
He placed the bottle to his head//
Kevin cried as he placed the gun to his temple. "Briana please forgive me. I just can't live without you anymore."
//And pulled the trigger
And finally drank away
Her memory.
Life is short
But this time it was bigger
Then the strength he had
To get up off his knees//
Adam had been the one to find his friend of four years. Kevin was face down in the pillows clutching his crude note for dear life. Silver tear trails were still visible on his pale cheeks.
//We found him
With his face down in the pillow
With a note that said
I'll love her until the day I die//
His funeral was a small one. His mother and friends surrounded the casket. None of them could understand why he would do such a thing. On this day there was no shortage of tears.
//And when we buried him
Beneath the willow
The angels sang a Whiskey Lullaby//
After the funeral they all gathered at the Mathews' house. They
talked about the weather, Kayla and Adam's first baby, Kina's wedding to
Brad. Eventually the talk focused on Kevin and why he would want to take
his life.
Briana stayed out of the conservation for she knew why. It had been
her fault. If only she had been able to see the signs.
//The rumors flew
But nobody knew
How much she blamed herself//
If only she had not broken up with him. Why had she not tried to get back with Kevin. Deep in her heart there was still a yearning for him. For his heart warming smile, his red hair, those deep emerald eyes. But most of all for his touch and his smell.
---
Three years now she had mourned his death. Three years of pain, three years of torture. Three years of tears and drinks.
//For years and years
She tried to hide The whiskey on her breath
She finally drank
Her pain away
A little at a time//
Everyone else tried to tell Briana that Kevin's death was not her
fault. There was nothing that could have been done. Kevin was just
depressed that's all.
But none of it helped. If anything it made her feel worse. After
all the last line of the note was directed to her, "I'll love her until the
day I die."
//But she never could
Never get drunk enough
To get him off her mind//
That night she had cried more than any other. It was the
anniversary of her lover's death. Yes, even though she had broken up with
him Briana still lover her red haired honey.
Briana grabbed the picture that had been her one month anniversary
present. It was just a simple picture of him. Seeing the face of the one
that she had broken was too much to bear. Closing her eyes Briana felt the
cold metal lightly touch her right temple.
//Until the night
She put the bottle to her head
And pulled the trigger
And finally drank away
His memory.
Life is short
But this time it was bigger
Then the strength she had
To get up off her knees//
The next afternoon Kayla fretted. Briana had not called yet. Ever
since Kevin's death Briana called every morning. Adam tried to explain that
maybe she was busy or just slept in. However Kayla would not calm down
until Adam promised to check in on her.
'Déjà vu' Adam felt that way the entire time he went to check
Briana's apartment. This felt too much like when he had found Kevin. Same
movements, same silence, same sickening feeling. Adam slowly walked from
the front door to the bedroom making sure to check every room in the
process.
His stomach tightened as he walked into the bedroom. He stood at
the doorway fighting back the tears. Slowly Adam dropped to his knees.
There he sobbed like a baby. Why? Why was all of his friends dying.
//We found her
With her face down in the pillow
Clingin' to his picture
For dear life//
Adam and his friends stood at the graves of their two friends. They only hoped that the two lost souls had found each other and lived in peace now.
//We laid her next to him
Beneath the willow
While the angels sang a Whiskey Lullaby//
