Untitled 11-2-06

The gentle rain beating rhythmically against the window
Filling this room with the sound of lonely emptiness
Like the memories that threaten to overcome my heart
The feeling of you beside me has yet to fade
Even though your presence has long left this room
But I can never forget your body in my arms
Warming me against the coldness of the night
Responding to every touch, every light brush
Flushed pink with the heat of our passion
Moving against you I can feel your heartbeat
A faint rhythmic drumming that mirrors my own
As your voice fills this room with sweet pleasure
Reaching our limit we let go of everything
The white ecstasy threatening to overtake our minds
When all else fades away, all that's left is just us
But even that fades with time, like an old photograph
Left in the sun and neglected for too long
And now there's only the rhythmic fall of tears
Upon the floor, echoing in the silence of this room.
