Parting Ways


 

"I have to go now, but don't look

so glum dear, it will take a lot

to keep me away for too long

again." But I cannot let go.

 

his eyes are coals without ember,

Lips so pink, tender, and lusting.

Body thin but not frail, with Arms

that hold me tightly to his chest.

 

as he turns to leave me stranded,

I can't help but notice his rich

Coffee hair, tousled gently by

the wind. I'm at a loss for words.

 

Perfect, so utterly perfect.

"Don't go! Don't leave me Alone here!"

his head turns slightly, and I know

he will stay for another day.
