I'll be yours until the end

unglamorous

Post content

I pulled your waist close, closing the abyss
Your lips find mine in the pitch dark
Our tongues in tune
A sigh from you

In our own rhythm
We became whole and bare
My torso met your body
And we were joined in a single synchrony

We lay on the ground, chilled by the night dew
Breathing in harmony, like lovers
Eternal
Your deepest desires are summoned

Looking straight into my eyes
You find another one hiding there
Between insecurities and mischief
Yet offering only tenderness

Do not be afraid of me
I'll be yours until the end
In the end, I adore you
But I do not love you

I endorse it

    Twenty lines of night dew and then a signed disclaimer at the bottom, like fine print on a kiss. I kind of love that.

    For me the last three lines carry the whole poem. Adoring without loving is a real distinction, all devotion and no promise, and it quietly takes back the forever from the title.
