one beat

by Alexis D. - Virgo

there you are
             and
                 here i am
tell me, what is it to be?

is it so that you will 
spend the rest of this eternity loving me
from that spectered distance
on into the next where you try to forget me?
as you have done 
from the time you induced me into this
life?

i can only abide this because
i know every eternity leads to another
and there is always the promise
that in one you will  
stand still long enough
to feel my breath against your neck
as my fingers clench your heart
and i will finally rest in your pulse
if only for one beat...
where you will finally
sanctify
my 
love
