Are you here with me...
in this minute eternity.
I can't open my eyes.
I'm too afraid to see that I'm alone.
Let me...pretend a moment.
Like you're beside me in this time.
In this place.
I feel a hand close around mine.
I feel warm wet lips on my neck.
My heart pounds in my chest...
But I'm still too afraid to see.
"Sir?"
"Miss."
My eyes still desperately shut...
My lonely mind still too untrustworthy.
Your lips press to mine...tongues dancing...
suppressed giggles and moans...
Hands wandering...exploring...
skin so soft and real...
I open one eye...anxiously at first.
then...
not in the least bit surprised.
Nothing.
Nobody.
Nowhere.
No more.
Only I.
Floating endlessly in this darkness.
In this joyless
empty.
I am.
I was.
I will be.
With nothing left.
With nothing to promise.
I die here... with each
passing
agonizing
moment of my empty world.
