Within

I hide within his soul.
A bit of flame hiding within the cooling blackness.
His skin cools the fire with the whispering touch of the grave.

I give in.
His gaze drowns me with it's sweeping touch.
I sense his cool scrutiny inside.

His hand reaches out from within the placid pool of darkness to pull me to his lifeless heart.

His lips touch mine and something within each of us instantly breaks and merges in one single fluid movement.

I smile with the knowledge that I will soon be a part of the darkness we all harbor within.
