This is about the end of young love...

It Fell

Her defenses crumbled.
Her skin dissolved in sheets of white frost,
Painfully,
As we tumbled on the rocks
Of fog topped cliffs inside.

With the wind,
And its fingers on the night we ride.

To green fields,
And water,
Licked with verse
As we eloped with dusk on the path
Of a fable,
Real,
But unrehearsed.

Be afraid.
As the tides can fold your wings
It's not too late to hold my hand
If comfort it will bring.

Rest for me on soft pillows.
Please keep very still.
Your fading soul burns out
Like a dance on white daffodils.
Your eyes;
Your lips are dying.
And so it floods outside our window
Because the sky is crying.

And as I try
I tell lies.
How it was for the better good
How suffering is a curse that no one should
Endure when they love someone
When they love someone.

But I still whisked her away;
Petty cares on my magic carpet.
Searching for the right words to say

Today I brought her,
Perfumed breasts and all,
To my conquest,
My private trophy hall.
And though small as you'd think
It drowns out the day
And cut through a certain
Stink.
But when I blink
I find she's gone
To those days where love and fear belong.
Her precious frame I couldn't hold
And sometimes,
The feeling stays
But leaves me cold.
