The smile on his face contrasted the sadness in his eyes
the words on his lips sounded sour and dry
his hand moved forward
it grabbed my lightly as he uttered three words
the gravity pulled my lungs into the earth
my heart froze in fear
a tense grip
a soft pat
a loud bang
then silence
the air around me went flat
the world went dark
and my soul turned to dust in the wind
a sickening smell flooded my being
a foul beast entered my shell
destroying me from within
when the world reclaimed its life
the man had lost his
a puddle of his essence surrounded me
the world he built was left behind
like the words of horror he left to me
three words that haunted my dreams
i love you
