And Then You'Re Gone

we're in your bedroom tired and out of breath it's quiet. i lay there listening to you breathe. the bed squeaks and you rise. you tell me this can't go on as you slip your shirt over your head. you tell me you're tired of the secrecy and lies. i rise pretending i didn't hear. a stray curl has fallen in your face. i reach for you but you stop my hand and hold it. sky blue meets forest green and i understand. my chest tightens and i lose myself. your eyes cloud with tears. before i can brush them away you bruise my lips with one last kiss. and then.... you're gone.
