The Dark Dark End
May 17, 2013
You look at me
Your fingers encrusted with ruby
And your eyes inflamed with pain
A face where once a smile had lain
Your lids; closed
Your touch cold
Lips icy
And hands that fold.
The eyelashes; tender
The lines all but disappeared
Skin pale
And death that has recently appeared.
Your hair is gold
As I remember
Your soul purged
Into the dying ember
So spread your wings
In the knowledge you were
My lover
My friend
Until your dark dark end.
