She enfolded me into the night

Swift and dark

Her dewy skin seeping into my own

With no threshold to part skin from bone

Cloaked in the marrow of her emotion

She became the walls to my cell

Gathering my tears into an ocean

Crying empty echoes

from a shell

Left on a shore of memories

Where summer forlornly departed

And autumn is now abound;

She picked up my heart as if it were

a leaf upon the ground
