Hard Break Words

We made love
Not to remember
A sense of ourselves
But to forget
To let
The past pass between us
Like the sighs
Which switched
From light
To heavy
Like our hearts
Let "before" slip over us
Like our hands
Swift over skin slick
With the bliss
Of memories
Melting
From us
In buckets
Sucking dry
Our bones
As we owned each other
One last time
We made love
To the end
Of us
A toast
Heads thrown back
Lips tipped
Then touching
In place of glass
We had that
Moment
Over and over
Where we shattered
Traced
Tears
Down
Eyes
Graced
Cheers
Down
Thighs
Open only for the sake
Of compromise
Let's do this
One
Last
Time
Let's make the most
Of those
Goodbyes
We must have been mistaken
We were making
Motions
For the exits
Endings
This and nothing more
Clothes gathered
Grasping
Asking
Acting
Out the wanting
On this floor
Knees
Bruised
Begging
Past the wetting
Reaching weakly
For the door
And we saw lights
Like lightning
Bright and breaking across eyes
We made our bed
And laid among our lies
Teeth clenched
Against the cries
Slow
So slow
As we come down
Calm now
As we whisper
Our
Goodbyes
