Maybe his life was there, maybe it wasn't.
There were plenty of times I wondered.
A lifeless husk, a shell of reality.
Beauty resides in hidden places they say,
so I went looking in the darkest holes and closets.
I found him there, covered in bats and spiders
that sucked at his blood like a vampire binge eating.
He never fought once, even when I pulled him away.
But he also never fought as the rope fell tight.
They say it doesn't take much, just a little push.
I am still not convinced he was alive to begin with.
