Goodbye.

We stand face to face.

I can feel your breath on my skin.

Our eyes searching.

We know we can never be the same.

Our inevitable apocalypse is here.

The falsehood of our dreams has 

finally come to light.

As the darkness takes over,

I welcome it.

For the darkness has always been 

my most loyal companion.

As you turn to walk out the door, 

I allow myself one last guilty pleasure.

I allow my heart to pump, to swell and 

breath you in.

I bask in the fallaciousness of our love.

I enjoy the warmth my body feels

as your face flutters before my mind.

For one last time I submerge myself in 

this delusion.

Absorbing it deeply into my deepest soul.

Painfully i drag myself back to reality.

I clutch your hand before you dissolve 

from my world. 

Ripping into my chest,

tearing through the flesh and allowing 

the warm moisture to engulf my hand,

to drip into the cold concrete.

Saturate me.

I grip my fragmented heart, feeling its 

gentle beating on my skin, I rip it out of 

my chest and gently place it into you hand.

Now you have everything that's yours 

you may leave.

And please don't ever come back.
