I watched it unfold, watched our beautiful creation fall apart in a second, a wall crumble down. The whole world stopped and I became silent, frantic. Hold on, do not fall apart. He reached for me, tried to see my eyes but I didn’t look up I was so sad Afraid Oh God, I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Please… He fell back I watched him drown I know it’s not your fault, but look at what you’ve done Now I am trembling Hurting He pulled me into him, kissed me until I was comfortably sedated His words are morphine I feel them in my blood, in my limbs, veins vibrating Forever I will consume A slave to this restless hunger This precious, fragile love that I hold so tight in my fists But now I lie here in this nest of fabric and skin And this small place inside of me is crying Just let me forget And feel numb Nothingness *Please.
