Mumbled Goodnight

Amaranthine Fetish

We cuddled
Caressed
Talked
And as we faded to sleep
I heard
"Farewell, my love"
My body beat failed
Heart kicked into gear
Mind ceased
Then I smiled
For that was the word
A possessive phrasing
Giving more meaning
It dominated my mind
As she slept
Quiescent
I lay awake
Awed by her blithe delivery
I dared not repeat the words
For that would make it real
Yet I knew
With a clarity undreamt
That this was truth
