how did it come to this?
the swaying waters, the hum of the music in
our ears, the sound of your heart beating next to mine -
sweet melody. the cold cold bitter night brightens
and warms; it glows and shimmers like the setting sun.
i feel you, your touch, the warmth of you pressed against
me - we're intertwined - i soar beyond my wildest
imagination. your burning skin on mine, the
dead, cold flesh of mine, and for a moment, i live
again. you lock me in your embrace and i feel
safe, safe from the monsters - real or mine own. i fall
asleep, the thump of your heart like music to my ears.
