Vanish

In the quiet of this room
My thoughts stirs
Drawn from the depths of the shadows
In my mind
A memory, dipped from a silver pool of rippling darkness
Emerges, shimmering and ghostly
Your eyes haunt me, wolflike and somber
Burning me like smoldering sapphires

Beneath the endless tide
I hear you calling to me
I close my eyes and think I could fly
Vanish like smoke through mist
As your eyelashes flutter against my skin
Whispered kisses and unspoken words

Do you remember?
Our dreams laid to rest side by side
My hands in your unruly hair
Your breath slowing as you said goodbye
A failing battle against tears

Young and innocent
We held this pain
Torn apart in a burning rain
Pulse to pulse and breath to breath
Open your hands
And embrace this death
