she backs up in to the corner.
he slowly follows,
his gaze set on her face
closer and closer he comes
inches away from her body
he smiles.
slowly, he caresses her face
traces his fingers alongside her jaw bone
and slowly down to her neck,
as he heavily whispers words in to her ears
that fill her eyes with tears.
both hands now.
he is not gentle
she can’t breathe.
he tightens his grip
can’t let her go
staring straight in to her eyes
as her pupils shrink.
she reaches her hand out
gasping for air
clawing at his hands
trying to pull them away
but no, he holds on
tighter and tighter
until her body goes limp…
She is gone.
