Poem: "Dust and Promises"

"Dust and Promises"

Come closer, she said
with a knowing smile
moving towards me
with the trained grace
of a ballet dancer

Desire is a blade
that cuts too close
to my fragile skin
the blood on my hands
falling away
in desperate pieces

When all I wanted
was your touch
as the sun sets
all we shared

Fades away
until all that is left
is dust and
unfulfilled promises.
