We Can Never Be

by J. Ignace - Leo

The light plays upon her uncovered body
She resembles a motionless cadaver
I hurt my future by reprehensible thought
Red is the light that makes love to her
Black are the thoughts that authorize her death
I can never turn away for she will leave
Coldness dances down the hall
It empowers her lustful damnation
Inevitably makes my mouth dry
She is unmindful of my company
Apathetic towards atmosphere
Sympathetic toward a lonesome demise
I can never turn away for she will leave
Consuming her thoughts makes me content
Her consuming mine makes me pallid
Regurgitation is a human reflex
Casting a shadow on her loveliness
I make my presence known
She wells with fears, smiles with tears
Standing before me uncovered
Her nakedness knows no shame
I kill us more by my carnal wanton
We embrace meshing together as one
Gray emotions turn to black and white
On the cold floor beneath me I place her
Her wounded eyes devour the red light
Dry air sits heavy on my chest
I just want a glass of water
My hair grasped by her small hands
Direct my head where to gratify
I drink from her cup, eat from her bowl
Quench my debauching thirst
Entertain my wicked hunger
She draws me up by my ears
Licks my face while staring evil into my eyes
I penetrate as her head thrusts back
Biting draws blood but I love the taste
Moments in time slip from grasp
Fall on the rocks and shatter as we indulge
Utopia is the land to which we have escaped
Every plight in life is now futile
She is the piece of me I love most
I am the ingredient in her that lives evermore
Still not one word spoken, I kiss her tender lips
I bow my back as I release a year of sorrow
She detonated the bomb I placed between her legs
I am now salivating in a puddle of sin
I rise to my feet standing erect over her
The light once again plays on her being
A tear rolls slowly down her cheek
A deep fear has me by the throat
“We can never be”, she whispers
No need to argue, I know the reason why
Kissing tenderly for the last time
I crumble to the floor to be swept in the cracks
Returning to the darkness once more
To see the light from heaven dance upon her brow
Sorrow is our unavoidable consequence
Don’t explain, I know it has to be this way
