The Brink of Everything
10.04.04
She stood on the brink of everything
Smiled, and said,
“Love, there’s not much left.
They devoured it all and the rest is rotting away
But still I’d give you anything you wanted
Anything at all.”
And besides her, he smiled in silence
Until finally, muses brought words to his head
And with gentle laughter, he replied,
“There’s everything left.
As long as I stand besides you
The brink of nothingness could not deter my happiness
And life itself would end each breathing creature
Only to gaze upon your face.”
And so she laughed, too
For she knew the lie behind his words
But those in hell know no thought of tears.
<--- fall into my patterened tears... [return]
<---<--- catch me as i fall? [CS]
