You touched me and the light recoiled, Our skin wrote verses the sun can’t read. I felt my name slide from my mouth, And something darker bloom instead. Your breath became my atmosphere, Your hands rewrote my pulse. I forgot where I ended, And began where you whispered. You said, “Don’t be afraid of the dark,” But it wore your eyes. You said, “Stay,” And I became stillness. Umbral kiss the world fades out, Gold turns grey, I feel you devour. Love so deep it erases light, Hold me close erase me right. The stars blinked out one by one, Each sigh another extinguished sun. You smiled, and I became gravity’s wound Collapsing inward to meet you. If I’m losing myself, Then let it be slow. Let me dissolve Until you can’t tell What’s yours, what’s mine, What’s shadow. Umbral kiss eclipse me whole, Turn my fire into coal. Love me till the colors die, And nothing’s left but your outline. Whisper my name I’ll answer as you.
