Damn Your Cold Kiss

Swept off my feet

Carried across this blackened land

In your arms

Safe

Protected

Hiding in your chest

From the monsters at your feet

Wind whipping my face

Rain showering me

Mud collecting upon your shoes

The ash falls from the sky

As the fire blazes around us

The smoke stealing my life

The carnage covers our fear

Your anger especially

You run faster

Just to get me out

I weep and sob

But I know I’ll be okay

Jumping off our mind

Landing in the suffocating water

Our mental love grows and branches

The ocean stings my eyes

But not as much as yours do

Your eyes are black

Staring into mine

I cower in fear as you swim closer

I try to get away

Panicking in a paddle

Each stroke I move farther away

I look back and your eyes are red

Your skin is grey

Your lips are a sickly purple

I stop and tread

I look upon your face

You saved me

I shouldn’t run away

I gently swim back

And you look pretty darn surprised

I lace my arms around your neck

As you do to my waist

You press our foreheads together

While our legs kick I press my lips to yours

We grow aggressive and then careful

You pull away and you smiled

I furrowed my eyebrows together confused

My face grew numb

It stretched down to my neck and then to my torso

All the way to my toes

My skin cracked and blistered

Blood poured from my nose

I coughed and sputtered

You continued to grin

Tipping your head to the side you touched my face

Your finger traced my jaw

As you brought me closer to your body

You kissed me again as I struggled to get away

You sucked my life away

My breath became shorter and whispery

My heart beat slowed

My vision blurred

My limbs became limp

I finally floated on the surface

My corpse as grey as your life

My hips went under

Ad my body followed

Down I went into the blue

Away from you

Away from harm

You brought me once again to safety.
