Unforgiving TwilightThey were toxic to his body, His skin and my heart. I thought our love was unbreakableIndestructible, eternal. Those chemicals drank his blood. They made him think thatHe could soar through the heavens. It was a graceful plungeInto the deep, thick pool below. The Serpent hands grasped forHis delicate insides. Pink floated in the wavy waterAnd I cried rivers of broken promises. He once told me "until the end,"I stared at his mangled bodyAnd whispered "you lied."The days turned colder, darkerAnd I craved his warmth. So I curled my fingersOver the elusive dustAnd kept it under the covers. My brightly shining starlight, Please help me forgetHow my reflections flickered in those needy eyes. Because here I sink deeperInto your dirty, unforgiving lie.
