Death and Love
The sunset bleeds into night
and my body bleeds into the darkness,
dragged over the abyss
claws rip into my flesh;
here I face my demons.
And my eyes, stare blank into grey twilight
warm hands grope
only finding frozen flesh
so cold, but so red.
And my skin, loses shade
paling into nothing;
wet warm lips descend
upon blue lips
if only to feel once more.
An my lips, feel you,
one last taste
before deaths kiss;
fingers feel for a heartbeat
brushing hair
out of half-closed eyes.
And my body, is tugged
to you,but death?
Death is jealous.
A heartbeat strains
in an attempt, final decision to be made.
And you, you fight to bring me back
and light fills my eyes.
