Soul death. ..

In The End..

He kissed me good-bye 
On my salty lips where the tears he hadn't seen 
Had dried and vanished as I had swallowed unspoken screams 
Dreaming me to a far-off place 

He kissed me good-bye 
No longer daring to cross my teeth's boundary with his tongue 
As he had earlier, invading me with wet brutality 
Knowing I had never been kissed like this before 

He kissed me good-bye 
Softly almost, as if to thank me for keeping quiet, for giving him what he had wanted 
For not fighting back his weight, buried by a thousand stones 
Shutting my eyes at the sight of his face 

He kissed me good-bye 
And smiled at my naked fragility knowing he had left his marks 
A signature I wouldn't be able to erase with hot showers and soap and silence 
The hunter had possessed his prey, if only for a while 

He kissed me good-bye, and I kissed him back 
So he would exit through the heavy door back to reality 
Take with him the burden of that afternoon 
And let me rest in pieces..

Thankiew
