Awakening

I stumble inside and sit upon the couch.

 

Waiting

 

Eternity passes,

or maybe it's only been a second,

and then

 

SHE

 

walks in,

emitting a light of such brilliance

such intensity

that my whole world is set on fire.

 

I burn from the inside out.

My biggest fear was always burning to death,

yet I find myself in Heaven,

consumed by flames.

 

Slowly she collapses next to me

Skin to skin

we sit,

I tingle,

filled with electric heat

 

and then...

 

Movement

 

Fingers digging into my side

she grabs me.

 

The most exquisite pain I can imagine

 

"This isn't right, you're a GIRL"

 

The words float in the air,

suspended,

and then explode into beams of light

as her lips

finally

meet mine.

 

Happiness?

 

Holy **** it exists.
