Melancholy Sunrise

Darkness lays awake, waiting upon her breaker. The one that lies upon her and whispers to go, leave behind nothing that you covered with your soul... Yet she knows she does not need to hear these words to initiate her departures; she could velvet herself and ghost over the world so simply. like a cloth dip in red wine; enveloping the color, but not savoring the need of intoxication. She stays wanting to feel his warmth, wanting to feel his glow over her body, that truly in a way, makes her disappear, for the world forgets her till she comes again. and again and again torturing herself, for every ray of light cuts her skin, but she is not masochistic. Why does she stay? Why does she endure? He's coming, slowly over her... He Rises. Rises in such an ill manner, That you would think he would give up an descend once more. once more so he could ponder and wish; all more to the dreamer that stays asleep in his wake. How he wants to be one of these creatures that get to roam inside her skirt, laugh between her legs, and rest upon her bosom. Envy so much of it heat rises, why he still feels the need to cry... He feels her fleeting, never ever seeing her, her known only by his touch. His eyes stay close needing, pleading, seething, just to see just to see her just...her He stands fully now and the world is smiling, but he is not.
