Before the shadow arrived,
I remember,
Flashes,
Of your smile.
Playful,
Yet,
Menacing.
Like you held the world in your palm.
That was the first day I knew.
Before the lighting arrived,
I remember,
A glimpse of
Your hands in a gentle caress.
Mixed with
Hailing
Rain.
That was the day I cried.
Before the storm arrived,
I remember,
Your lips in my ear.
Words,
So sweet,
Yet,
Treacherous.
That was the day I screamed.
Before the darkness arrived,
I remember,
Your Obsidian,
Eyes.
A mischievous twinkle.
Frightening,
Yet,
Thrilling.
That was the day I died.
