but why?

her hands were burning under his skin

his burrowed in her eyes,

he turned his head, tears brimming

teeth grinning

limbs shaking

hearts breaking

if i can't let you go

forgive me this time

i'll try again in the morning

just please wait for the morning

he tried to plead

tried to bleed an apology

his heart couldn't leave his chest

he wanted to show her how hard

how hard this was

to see her disintegrate

"i can't do it any more"

she burst inside

cold before

empty and frigid

her hands were clawing under his skin

trying to feel his heart

did it miss her already?

"i don't understand..."

"i love you"

"but why?"

"i just can't do this anymore."

it wasn't an answer

and her hands were deep in his chest

and his were deep in her eyes

squeezing the water from them

dripping down to the table

watering down her coffee

she wailed and was watched

and she felt her guts spill out and her limbs shatter

she felt the world and it's axis

she felt death a thousand times

and so did he.
