the end of we

A firmness absent in recent encounters

provides bright heat contrary to the cold tears.

Your lips seek refuge on mine.

I can feel you shudder;

A slick roll of agony through your bones.

I steady you

and space swallows us.

Our lips brush wet with emotion 

and passion birthed from pain.

Hurt claws at life inside me;

Stifling my breath

and silencing my heart.

Not too weak to break away,

I finally do what needs to be done.

Immediate after our last kiss 

I breathe,

This is what needs to be.

You won't thank me now,

but I know this is the end of we.
