Last Kiss

Original Submission by Binen Steven

Last Kiss

The last kiss you stamped on my neck when we made love

Flooded my eyes with tears

And it made me lose a trace of even myself since I was soaked in a storm of fear

When my lips got cracked

Because the radiations that you emitted burnt my soul

With a sensation that was cosmic in kind.

I entirely felt it in my heart that knelt on its muscles to plead for another day to stay in your chest

But you kicked me out saying our love couldn’t drive any further since it was stagnant

Your mind was blocked with departure to the one that was new

So you decided to leave me alone

In a circle with no one to share my thoughts with

Since there is no point of intersection between me and the rest that are still a part of my small world.

The last smooch was poisonous to life because my eyelids fell to the ground

And I was left in soils having no channel of joy to flow towards them.

(Poetry)
