her

I run headstrong into my own fears, as does she.
Upon impact we collapse into each other.
I melt into her warm embrace,
absorbing her whole being.
Afraid & vulnerable, I weep.
The time has finally come, the pinnacle of my existence.
I gaze longingly at her,
she’s right here yet she’s so far away.
Something rips her away. (with force)
I reach my arms out in vain. (to reclaim her)
A split second of tranquility.
Pulled away before I could revel in it.
I stare vacantly at my empty hands.
I weep again.
