The Last Night

your cheek against my chest
your fingers on my skin
your breath against my throat
your sad soft sigh a sin

my arm around your waist
my hand upon your hip
my hand absorbs your warmth
my senses drink you in

we lay and know it all is gone
we hold on for a moment
we cradle past and rock goodbye
we are as were, never again
