Your Cold Lips

Rated: T

Jack/Gwen

End of Days

You died because of me. Any of us could have held the gun. You would have rose again, as you did, but you would have killed to protect your secret. All but me.

I bear the burden of the immortal's death. You are forever mine to grieve.

I wait and wait for you. It took so much life from you, but I think you can't bear to return because I betrayed you.

I will turn away, but not because I have given up. I will pray for your forgiveness.

I touch my lips to your cold lips, and I share with you all the images I wish were true. I begin to see images I did not put there.

I turn away. I do not deserve your love. I only beg your forgiveness.

And I hear: Thank you.
