Invisible thread

By little-known

It is in the aftermath that the worst occurs
The devastation in the knowing
We are nearly parting
There's silence after being 
Us
The laying there saying nothing
Listening to us breathing
Just waiting, watching the clock ticking
Willing it to slow

This is the last time I say
I need to make it work

We rushed at first 
Quickly dismissing my rings
Impatient with each other
Needing the feel of us in each others skin
In each others bones
Tangled with our limbs

Above the bed words are suspended in air
Just out of reach, to high to grasp
The sweet somethings
All the things unsaid between us
That are agony to say as it would be admitting 
That we are something
Something we weren't expecting
So we say nothing
Lay there waiting 

This is the last time I said
I need to make it work

But we could be everything
As we are perfection
What we feel is so strong
Earth shattering, heaven like
Almost
Shuddering against one another
Trying to catch our breath
As though we are the only ones in this world living
Existing only for this
So we are watching 
My diamond rings shining
Waiting for the inevitable 

The me leaving you again
I unwillingly walking away 
The magnetic pull struggling against me
Like a net against my body
Pulling me back
My insides in agony
Our invisible thread near snapping
Streaching as far as possible

This is the last time I tell you 
I need to make it work

Over my shoulders your staring
With knowledge in your eyes
A slight curl upon your lips
As you know it's all a lie
Knowing ill be back again
Or we surly won't survive
