Our Last Kiss Goodbye

It's been coming for awhile now, always lurking on that deceitfully gorgeous horizon
As we stood side by side looking out at it
Fingers no longer intertwined, eyes no longer twinkling in the fading sun,
Hearts forever silenced by the lack of passionate love and care.

You walked up to me one day on the brink of twilight,
Your smile, as usual, left behind in that rusty old car of yours,
I looked up at you, my face grim and full of comprehension and it
Killed me inside knowing that when we went behind closed doors,
It'd be the end.

You wound your arms around my waist and lifted me high
Like you did all the times when we were happy together,
Before the fights that lasted for days, before it became so much harder to try,
When you used to whisper in my ear "forever".

I leaned down and rested my face inches from your own,
My heart beating fast and loud for a different reason than I wanted,
Your hard, cold, unfeeling lips touched mine in an empty simulation
Of our kiss; and I knew then that of this day, I'd always be haunted.

You set me down gently, your eyes absent of the warmth I so missed
We stepped back from each other and stared mutely, trying to figure out where it went wrong,
Was it when I walked out or when you said you'd had enough?
Neither of us knew.

You left again, this time for good,
I held the tears and screams inside,
The only happy memory we had left
Was our last kiss goodbye.
