The sun fades to darkness

Clouds spread across the sky

A storm rages over the sea

A glimmer of moonlight reveals her face

The blood from her tears shine

She holds his face

His breathing has slowed

His eyes flutter

She wants to kiss him but she knows that would only kill him more

As he dies

            She remembers his lies

They cut him much too deep

Her tongue was a blade

That he just had to taste

Her love was death

But he needed it anyway

His breath has now stopped

So she begins to crawl away

As she glances back

She notices a fly staring into his eyes

 

And she wonders if he’s able to see now.
