The last meeting
By little-known
I dreamt the dream again
It repeats
​Always the same
​Built on borrowed uncertainty
​An uncompromising battle
​within me
I dream it again and again
It ​shakes the very core of me
​lingers for days within
Crawling out through my mouth
I keep seeing him
Opening the door
​To feelings
I know soon I'll descend
​I will be at the same meeting
​Again and again
years since its happening
​The intensity burning
​My insides aching
​His icy stare penetrating
​my heart
As I was leaving
​Insides of me screaming
​Him not following
​Our last meeting the last
​During the night I used to watch him
​Constantly breathing
​The steady rise and fall of his chest
I needed this certainty
​Its the only thing I had left
​As the moon that shared all my nights
​Within a clenched fist and warm soft breath
​Reasureing me for now
​The he was alive
​The steady rise and fall of his chest
I had become a mistress
​His other lover insisted
​Seeing her talons in him
​He kept on descending
into the unknown
​The place I could not follow
A place I wouldn't go
I fought her for years
​Then giving up my fears
​I walked away in tears
​This brought our last meeting
​The last
I was standing
​He was staring
​The taxi waiting
My tears were spraying
​My heart near breaking
​Me needing a fresh start
This form of addiction is far from forgiving
​My love had equipped it from the start
​Now I keep dreaming
​It
​Of the last meeting
The one that shattered my thoughts
​We were both staring
​The north wind was blowing
​The leaves along the sidewalk
​The heroin withdrawing from his blood
The scales were weighing
​Between me and her
​He has mistaken her love
​From the start
​He is turning
​My mind is reeling
​My hands are shaking
​He Carries on walking
​The meeting that shattered my heart
