The color of blues refract behind her eyes
like glass shards under morning sunlight. They
level me with a cutting glance; between beats of my pulse
I feel a trembling in my joints, like they're coming unhinged in the light of her stare.

Somehow she still manages to do this to me,
to keep me hooked to her after so long apart.
She bring me to my knees with that easy smile of hers,
something so beautiful, yet toxic to my heart. I just
want to
look away and walk far but my feet will not
obey.

They stay firmly planted here
to this solid floor, though it acts as mud, and I sink
like quicksand beneath these harsh lights and her
glowing blue eyes. I know I'm a goner.
And she's walking closer to me...

Her hand touches my cheek and I feel
a charge, like lightning through my veins. A rush I can't deny.
My breathing has become labored from the knowing
that this isn't right. There's a reason we had ended this.
There's a reason we fell apart.

But, tonight...just for tonight,
I'll forget all about it. Banish the protestations of my mind
and just immerse myself into her arms.
And just let myself enjoy the sweet, aching moments
of a distant memory.
Maybe she will too.
