tug of war

he stands in front of all the clutter
ignores the background noise and focuses on my face.
he starts to smile out my frown
but in the middle of it i lay down
and pretend i don't notice.

the background starts to swallow him whole
i jerk up and grab his hand
but his stance starts to sink
as the noise turns black as ink
and soon the clutter obstructs my view.

"wait!" i cry and tug with all my might
but he can only look at me sadly.
i growl with anger...how dare he give up so soon?!
will he only rely on my little strength?
no matter, i will not let it take him.
