I Loved You. I Needed Forever. But You Could Not Bear It.

I strung divinity into your breath,
Kissed you into a timeless place,
Whispered of the gold your eyes would spill.

Yet your gaze still searched out the hurt,
A mourning of mortality,
For the things you would come to yearn.

Because when you spoke of the stars,
Of how you longed for them,
I never realized,
You had never wanted the power to grow tired of them.

I had tried.
And I had failed.
In my need to fix your sorrows,
I took what only the finite offered.

A merciful end.
