Sharing Beds

Gratifying salvation no longer stems from denial,
Shattered hearts cast into the arms of the dark abyss,
His warm breath brushes against skin lovingly vile,
If only lingering eyes could see what is amiss,

Pain like never before breaks free of the solidity of life’s turmoil,
Passionate fires burn out of control,
Love never hurts worse than when it recoils,
Giving it all always pays a toll,

Desiring to be dead yet terrified to be where he is not,
What hell has come to be,
For so long in bloody and futile attempts she has fought,
Now everything is lost in a sea of unforgiving misery,

Sharing beds do not mean the same as sharing lives so he lies,
How long will she suffer until the love finally dies,
