I walked right into it
I seldom walk into any trap as a matter of fact
I have led myself to a painful, agonizing death
Defenseless and vulnerable that's all I am in this moment
I walked into the room, my eyes like lasers
automatically locked onto you
The sand stars swallowing my feet and I begin to panic
My heartbeat accelerates in tempo as if it was an instrument following the music of my eventual demise and sorrow
I begin to scream, wail, sob as I plead for help
Reason appears to end my plight
Logic starts weaving its web inside my head as I try to come up with a plan to escape
Our eyes accidentally meet across the room
The sand is up to my thighs now
Reason leans over to toss me a rope and trips
He falls into the sand and is swallowed in an instant
His burden of knowledge too heavy to save him now
Any hope escapes me now and I struggle not to just end it right now
I accidentally touch your hand and quickly
recoil as sparks ignite and travel over my skin
Fear darts into the scenery, agitated and shaking he pauses at the situation
Picking up where his predecessor left off, he tosses the rope and I catch it
Hope renews in me once more, a chance of surviving this ordeal is getting bigger by the second
I grasp it the rope tightly and pull to let him know it's safe to pull me out now
Unfortunately, fear has never been strong enough to face himself or anyone else and my little pull drags him down with me
Your arms envelop me, warm and comforting
as I breathe in your scent. I don't wish to be anywhere
else right now.
I stare in horror at what I've done, all that is left of him is a tiny bubble that quickly pops
There is no escape
This is no dream
This is my close
My resolution
Hate in her pale gown appears at my side, floating over the sand that is now up to my chest
Our lips met and galaxies were created and
destroyed. Stars came alive, the ocean rose up
to meet the sky. Everything lasted forever right
then and there
She takes in my tear stricken face, the light in my eyes slowly dying out like a candle as each second passes
She places her warm and on my cheek and the other on my shoulder as if to hold steady of what was to come
Then she pushes
Me
Down
The sand is now up to my chin as she takes her hands off and begins to float away
I try to find the strength to lift my arms but I cannot
I thought that she out of everyone would help me
She is the opposite of why I'm here in the first place
You whisper those tragic three words
The sand takes me completely
I cannot breathe
Someone grabs my hand
I recognize whose hand it is
The twin sister of Hate
Love
2 sides of the same coin
*And that's what it felt like to fall in love with you
