Kissed Me Like That

He never kissed me like that,

as if I was the nucleus of his existence

and he breathed solely to be mine.

Under the starless sky they stood

so intimate, their hot breath

kept each other's faces balmy

and fixated on their love,

they didn't notice the danger lurking.

He never kissed me like that;

the raw passion left her emotionless

and caught off guard.

Until, placing her hand behind his head

she returned the favor

tenfold his aggression and ardor,

you knew,

if only for a single moment,

they were happy.

Through the looking glass

I observe him pull a way

and whisper three syllables

in a way he never articulated to me.

If only he had kissed me like that;

then perhaps the silver bullet

wouldn't have penetrated her skull,

and splattered her brains on his jacket.

If only he had kissed me like that,

he wouldn't be screaming

like a pussy,

like a child abandoned by his mother,

like a bitch,

like a puppy whose master had just died.

Incoherently, irrationally,

he sobs her name in vain,

In hopes to revive her heart,

begging her to return to him,

to be strong for him, to live for him.

He collapses

a broken man

into a pool of crimson bile,

soaking himself in her blood.

More gently than a mother

rocks her newborn to slumber

he cradles her limp,

cold carcass to and fro in his arms.

The beauty,

and the humanity,

and the intimacy,

elude me as I stare,

fixatedly, at the patheticness of it all.

She is dead

I response in affirmation

to the caller

whom ruined my moment

of pure sadistic bliss.

He never kissed me like that;

if only he had kissed me like that.
