first

love's first kiss is cruel
the warm and gentle touch;
the breath stolen straight from your lungs
soft and lovely
two stars collide
and the sparks are seen
a galaxy away

love's first kiss is cruel
the cold and lonely hole
its slick tongue once filled
gasping for a pocket of air
the expanse of space
is somehow wider
and far lonelier
when love finally breaks away
