He is at work late

My lover

Our dinner is getting cold

But I know when he gets home..

I will be greeted with a smile and a hug

After dinner we lay in bed

His smooth dark skin against mine My pale skin glowing like the moon

Sweat shimmering on our bodies

I wish I didn't have to leave him

I wish I had the guts to tell him this was the last time

He kisses me gently

My heart breaks

"This is the last time"

"I love you"

"I wish I could stay by your side"

The words tremble on my lips

But all I can do is cling to him

Tears fall to the sheets

He asks what is wrong

I just cling tighter

Stroking my hair like he knows relaxes me

Whispering sweet nothings in my ear

I kiss his lips

He is asleep

I feel the presence

He is here

He is taking me away from my love

He says it's time

Looking at my life in bed I take his hand

Death is painless

Only if you're heartless
