twi-light

the twilight of us

we met at the dawn of it all,

you were the light and

I was night;

and soon our meeting

became a muse for

those who love on paper.

we fell at noon,

in a fraction of a second.

you hit me with your hands,

your lips, your cheeks, your

eyes, your nose, your hair.

and soon we kissed,

we both knew we were damned.

we loved at sunset,

hitting the strings of the

violin as if we were the

last song to ever be played.

we sung to each other

and soon, our melody

was the only one heard.

we laughed at twilight,

you tapped your fingers

on my hips and i was a

mess of make up and

left-over love. you

told me that you could

count the stars on my skin;

and soon, you did.

we broke at dusk,

once your hands were too

cold and i needed to be warm,

your eyes didn't keep me safe,

and your lips couldn't be bought.

and soon, we didn't see magic

in the sky.
