two bodies
lean over the edge
to look at what's beneath
before the moment arises for
two loners                  to descend,
they look off                       the iron bridge
into the red grave                          called water beneath.
complete strangers                             that share the same fate
they look out towards the horizon, ready, aim, fire their physical bodies down
its safe to say                                           they aren't safe
lonely spirits                                            caught in cages,
they look                                             to the other
eyes                                               meet
locked
descending
in peace
"we aren't falling, are we?"
"no, dear, we must have met before?"
"i'm afraid not, but i'm already afraid to lose you"
"neither one of us are lost, we found each other"
"i wish i could pick your brain until time ends"
"and i wish i could make it so this never had to happen"
"i love you"
"i love you"
"what's your name?"





sinking
into water
two limp bodies
lifeless and desolate
two star-crossed lovers
dead
