It's pounding. Pounds.
I hate the ache. My ache.
It can all be my fault.
Is my fault. My mistake.

It's so empty. I hear echo.
The hollow shell mimics the cry.
Copies the sound of the teardrop.
Replays the sound of a sigh.

Gone. Gone. Going? No, gone.
Not a sorry to be said.
Not a word to be heard.
Everything but your shadow has fled.

A pouring in the eyes. A leak in the heart.
No love. No love. Nothing left to lose.
I cut my foot on a piece of broken promise.
I should have worn shoes.

I feel a steady chill.
Must be the window pain.
I used to fix it. Doesn't matter now.
It'll just break again.

I'm taking off my watch
So take off your street shoe
I say don't worry you look perfect
She manages a thank you.

Our silence is beautiful.
In it her intentions are clear.
She leans in so close.
Whispers softly in my ear.

" I have a small secret.
You can feel my heart beat on my lips."
I want to know what it's like.
I place my fingertips on her hip.

A light smile at the touch.
Those eyes a sky of diamond stars.
Our noses meet briefly.
So close yet so far.

She says, "If you pay close attention
And close your enchanting eyes,
I can show you proof
That I'm telling no lies."

So I give in to the moment.
I can feel hair brush my face.
My hand caresses her cheek.
The skin feels like satin lace.

My breathe freezes up.
I don't what to do from here.
My stomach twists in knots.
My heart stops in fear.

Her scent is intoxicating.
I'm drowned in vanilla and lilac.
I lean in to meet.
No use in fighting back.

A spark. A fire.
Now electrified beyond the flame.
It's lust. It's passion.
I can only hope she feels the same.

Her movement flows like the river.
Powerful yet yeilding to my advance.
Then she flows away and it's over.
For what felt like forever, our lips had danced.

I see a breathless smile.
Her soft voice. "Don't leave me tonight?"
I wrap her with all the love I have.
The silence is beautiful for she is mine tonight.
