Dominoes Falling

Dominoes Falling

I wake as the rain greets me on 
the face
To realize you wept until your 
bliss was drained
From edges of lips well licked 
Lies the deepest desires that 
Brought 
Two broken souls to a Valley 
long forgotten

Scream now, my dear, for this 
we live for,
Each cut thrusting us towards 
divinity’s floors
As this rush has us walking on 
all fours,
And we realize that we are 
Broken and Flawed
Left with these sharp edges to 
only draw blood 

Our story ended before it took 
flight
Its future never to see the light,
Wasting time on each other
For a fantasy called “forever”
As forever ends with no caution
