Losing, you to the night
My last breath
Stolen.
Lying on the floor that introduced us,
Listening to you breathe, Intently
Like a devoted student,
I stare at your Raven
Hair reflecting light from the glaring
Computer screen. I trace my fingers
Across lips, smooth soft as your velvet
Shirt -- fabric blue as midnight,
Trapping every memory, like the first time
We touched, I save each of these I can
Even your scent, like vanilla, Wanting
Needing it to Linger
Always like a scar that mars
My heart, lasting long after morning
When I must leave you
Not by my choice,
By yours.
