    Embrace

    We were in an embrace,


    Your face turned away from me...


    I smiled at the moment,


    Unaware of what was to be.


    We breathed in perfect synchrony -


    Our hearts dancing in the rise and fall;


    Your arms tightened around my waist,


    In every moment, the world grew small.


    You broke away and lit a smoke -


    Inhaled and exhaled with criminal flair;


    Burnt and spent to ashes,


    Obscure swirls disappeared into thin air.


    The remnants crushed under your boot,


    You turned and pulled me into you;


    Your touch cold and unloving,


    Your eyes, a steely hue.


    The stench of smoke rested on my breath,


    Your iron grip marked my skin;


    Your gaze gnawed through sanity,


    Consuming it from the heart within.


    A tempest morphed from a gentle calm,


    The storm to be braved became you;


    You had me for life in your embrace,


    Now you've ripped my heart out too.
