"My world trembled"

My world trembled
          with every step she took
I crumbled
          at the shifting of her neck
The dose brought me to ruin
Pursuing this careering shooting star
I can't remember when the dagger
Slipped in
          between my ribs,
          toward my heart
She came on soft like the wind
Nestling comfortably like sin
I never had a chance
It was one glance, maybe two
And I just sank and sank and sank
Deep down into her ocean blue
And now, I'm somewhere between
The spear-tip of madness and
Utter desiccation
Everything else
          is just gravity: unbreakable law

M.M.
