One step
was all it took
to find myself
lost again,
enveloped in the past,
chained down by forbidden pulses.
One kiss 
was all we needed
to discover 
what we'd lost,
bitter with pain at 'never',
aching miserably with 'can't'.
One hour
in each other's arms
and we fell again,
prisoners of temptation,
colliding with razor edged reality,
we bled.

I left behind an empty coffee cup,
void of hope,
full of sadness.
I took with me fractured memories,
the smell of you, 
haunting.
Cobwebs broke off my heart
with each beat,
familiar rhythm,
aching with longing.
Again,
again, 
please.

Our words tumbled over one another
and collapsed, 
broken, 
against the truth
that we've been here before.
Sweet wishes, so poisoned,
shhhh I said,
couldn't support the weight
of goodbye 
once more.

Barbed wire space,
I cannot move,
snagged on love,
contemplating the brick wall ahead.
Flash backs of when,
accelerated by what we had,
we died 
against the bricks
of opposal.

I wish you didn't have to be my Romeo.

Back at the start,
oh so addicted,
counting down the seconds
until I can see you again
and the world is perfect
in their oblivion
but we fade in hurt
as we freefall 
inbetween.

Never,
never,
never
to be.
