AN: This is from Kirk's POV, and set during/just after Amok Time.
Enjoy (hopefully) and review!
I felt your fire
burning, burning.
I saw the flames
swallow you whole.
I could do nothing,
I had to watch.
And I could feel the flames, too.
As you were pulled into her cold embrace,
then forced to leave her empty comfort
the fire of the Vulcan forge consumed you
and you were driven from your mind.
I could watch no longer
and took my place for you.
All for you.
I fought, and turned, and nearly fell,
but stood again, renewed.
But my strength was false,
and your hands took life from me instead.
I looked into your eyes, chocolate pools of fire,
and said, with utmost certainty, this truth:
I love you, too.
For that was what was revealed to me,
in the heat of Vulcan's Forge
That you were willing to bare yourself for me,
and that I would die for you.
But, Alas! Our strength held true,
and we were rescued from the pit.
And so we have the chance to live this, too.
My love, take me, all of me you can have,
if only you will stay with me, and say that I can.
Love me, have me, take me,
and let me do the same for you.
For what are we, one without two,
when we could be two without the one?
Take me, and let me have you, too.
Let the fire consume us,
in, oh! The best of ways!
Let us stop being two,
and instead become One.
Let this be the beginning, instead of the end it could have been.
Let this be the start of something beautiful, something all-consuming.
Let us come together, and never part again.
