I stare as I
Watch the gentle rise
The gentle fall
The moment when
She struggles for air
She shakes with the high
Quite the lover
Less the other
More untwined
Twinned with the breeze
As she breathes me out
Breathes me in
I hold her in my arms
And keep her tight
I keep her safe
As her heart fails in my embrace
I let her fall through me
As rain in a flood
The dying girl
For the weak
I could live a thousand years
And I wouldn't be able to save
The words trickle from my mouth
In a honeyed whisper
"the world is a means to no end"
