her

I run headstrong into my own fears, as does she.

Upon impact we collapse into each other.

I melt into her warm embrace,

absorbing her whole being.

Afraid & vulnerable, I weep.

The time has finally come, the pinnacle of my existence.

I gaze longingly at her,

she’s right here yet she’s so far away.

Something rips her away. (with force)

I reach my arms out in vain. (to reclaim her)

A split second of tranquility.

Pulled away before I could revel in it.

I stare vacantly at my empty hands.

I weep again.
