Naked, she was before his lustful eyes.
Sunrise was nothing but a delusional lie.
It was sorrow, despair that kept her from his idea of a perfect life.
He stood there waiting for a sign.
A breath.
A chance to wrap his body against hers.
Luminous lights exposing her bare chest.
Heavy darkness hiding her terrified watery eyes.
She yearned for comfort, security and serenity in this crazy life.
His touch, his love, his heart were all she needed, yet she denied.
Scared she stood as unspoken words hovered her mind.
With each breath, time was slipping from her hands.
Silence broke, distance became illusory as he approached.
One touch.
One touch was all it took.
Glass shattered, ice melted..
He took her in his warm embrace.
They became one.
