"My Love", she beckoned to him.
Arms outstretched, tears drenching her sweet face,
Scarlett lips trembling with anticipation.
He turned back, eyes flashing in anger.
Strong hand gripped the pale, slender neck
The dark of his skin making her white look ethereal
Her bountiful bosom heaved with labour
As she gasped for air
With loving eyes she looked up to his handsome face
Distance made her heart fonder, but his heart did not reciprocate
She had tried in vain to show her unflinching love
He said she smothered him
Every step, every word, every gesture – misunderstood, misinterpreted, mistaken
The more she tried to come close, the more he drifted apart
Like a mirage in a desert
She raised a delicate hand to touch his face one last time
Then she slumped into nothingness
He realised his loss
But his passionate kisses and warm tears couldn’t bring her back
In a moment of rage, all was lost
Love died in the arms of its beloved
He weeps still…
Longs for her to come back and smother him with her love…
A love that he threw away, a love like no other
A love that only her eyes brimmed with…a love lost forever!
