Moment

She wakes, dead in the night, frightened.

Wrought with a fear of the impending
What? She does not know.

Crumbs slipping away, day by day,
Mountain collapsing around her, yet
She can’t let herself believe.

Why does love have to be
What we expect?
Satisfaction always never ours.

She’s freezing, fantastically freezing 
Ice cold sweat sliding slowly; 
Breathe white in the air.

Naked thoughts; life without him she cannot 
Bare. He is her nature.
How could that be erased?

Mind tumbling, loud, splitting screams
Her love is beating her, belligerently boxing her within
Leaving her scratching, bloody and bruised.

But still creeps a fear within 
And a raspy whisper slips 
“I don’t ever want to forget your face.”

Dependency is hard to avoid in relationships. Great read.

I agree with the vibrance of this. It's so mixed up with different emotions. at some points it even sounds lustful and at other points more angry and frustrated. I love the rawness.

This piece is so vibrant! I love it! I can see everything that is happening... I love the ending especially:
"And a raspy whisper slips
I don't ever want to forget your face."
Great! Keep writing, you've got talent.
