"Let Go" by TheMasterAssassin101
Wispy milk billows over crater encrusted freckles.
Universes hide inside cloudy marbles
that roll on hardwood floors.
Pens stain weary papers with their rapids of ink.
Hands link together and noses touch like Armstrong's first step on the moon.
But there are no currents running through their veins,
there is no spark when their budding lips
bloom into each other or
when their sparkling eyes meet
but they don't see the thousands of stars buried inside.
They've learned to use each other,
to steal each other away from a
good life.
They've learned to ride motorcycles at dawn and tangle their fingertips in their hair or to leave darkened marks on each other's collarbones.
All they've ever known was loving each other and not caring for what the world had to say.
They had each other and for them, that was enough.
But they were slowly losing their sanity as all they did was sneak away to secret
hideouts and place forgotten kisses on each other's skin.
They were losing themselves without knowing.
They were never meant to meet
because they tear themselves apart
when they come home alone and realize
what they've done.
And that's a good lesson to learn in life.
Let go.
