He turns away

storm cloud eyes closing

and a tear falls

I raise my hand

and brush a strand of hair

from his face

Tears drip from me

soaking my collar

we knew it could never be

No one would agree

they tore us apart

kicking and screaming

He lays his head in my lap

I lean over him

my tears stream thorough his hair

Our hearts break in tandem

we drink the draught

lie down in each others arms

one last kiss

together forever

in death
