I see you shatter above me
Your beautiful face crushed
Your arms surround me
As though you could pull me
Back from the Light
With the strength in your body.
And the words I gasp out
Are not the ones I wish to say
Instead I speak to your heart
And hope it hears.
My fingertip flicks your tears away
My hand is over yours.
"Don't fight fate, beloved.
Let go."
And you do.
And I fall.
