Silence crawls across these abandoned corridors

as we sit, hands entwined, observing, as time passed by.

Unnoticed, far behind, lingering shadows swept silver streams across floors,

while outside, we gazed upon shimmering stars, luminescent beings aligned.

Turning in time, your eyes held mine,

reflections of night's celestial masterpiece swirled alight

with illuminating pools of clouded moonlight, a shine

of sapphire specks, your expression serene like the bird's flight.

Beside me, the position shifted, a warm presence known,

weights against my shoulder, stirs something inside,

gradual understanding reaches out, connects, again grown,

are threads, binding heart to thought, a bride to cross, no more time to hide.

An adventure into parts unknown, leaves my chest, this echoes throughout,

should these words be known, or left forever to suppress

Desperation sets, feelings express, eyes shrouded in doubt

Fleeting moments escape, dawning lights caress.

Staring, then silence shatters, opposite me, you speak

Your response long drawn, typical behaviour, before you leave.

Sitting here, I recount that day, leaving me weak

Before I rise, I peer at the swarming abyss, and fall into a storm, no more pain to relieve.
