Forever

His dark shadow arms reached out
to touch her, to hold her,
but she was unaware of his cold, lonely presence.
She thought she was alone as she cried,
and took the blade across her small, white wrist,
along her old scars.

This time, no one could stop her.

He watched her silently, with curiosity and love.
He wished that he could make it easy and painless for her.
He promised her, before he left, that he would return.
But only when the time was right.
She trusted him, and knew he'd come back for her.
The three hardest and loneliest months of her life were over,
He'd finally returned.
He whispered, "I love you" but to her it was only the soft breeze.

The both watched intently
as the deep, red blood slowly traveled from her body,
turning the ground around her red.
She laid her head on his shoulder,
but felt only his cold hard headstone.

For the last time she closed her soft and tearful green eyes.

He stood there waiting and wanting. 
With his arms outstretched, he scooped her into them.
The two had love beyond that what their mortal souls could understand,
They took each others hands and with their love
walked away from pain, suffering and loneliness
to spend their eternity together.
