Eternal

She screamed into the night as they cut him open

his blood created steam against the cold february asphault

she cried as if she were the one being torn apart

for he made no sound, not even a whince,

he stood in a trance, eyes fixed on hers

until his last drop of blood collided with the pavement

a gentle rain soon washed it all away, along with any trace of him

but she still stood there, eyes straining for his, her mouth agape,

and her features remained that way, looking out for his eyes

until her dying day

it is said that when she did breathe out her last,

her eyes slowly closed

and her lips were sealeed eternally with a euphoric smile

at last at peace

at last with him, forever
