Double Etheree: My Only

"My

Only."

Word whispered,

Husky and sweet,

Blinding me from truth.

His fingers traced the line

Of my jaw, cheeks stained crimson

Hidden in the dark of the night.

I reached out for his reassurance,

Seeking an assertion of our love from

A tender, warm embrace, lips touching lips,

Gaze holding gaze, fingers interlocked.

He evades my latest advance.

Rejection scolds me, I shrink back,

Heartbeat thrumming in my ears.

He draws near and whispers,

Hot breath on my lobes,

"You're my only

One mistake."

I am...

Dead.
