You come to me in the night

Sleepily, I reach for you

But your spirit eyes

are cold and vacant

I retreat

 

Claws extended

Lamb of the Apocalypse

You snarl and growl

 words, as steel  bullets

penetrate deep

Over and over until I feel nothing

but pain

 

Released and spent

You conduct damage assessment

Satisfied

 demons gone

 the door slams

 

I stumble to my bed

Where passion once lived

and warmth

 

and love

 

Unable to comprehend

THIS

 

Once, you were my sanctuary

as I was yours

 

Night rain comforts me

Night birds sing to me

Follow the trace of a shooting star

 

Finally, I sleep
