with your name tattooed across my heart

peel off layers
of deception and skin
and let me kiss
the tip of your nose
as we see through
each other's façade
and dance to the rhythm
of our waning heartbeat.

with your eyes closed,
i catch a glimpse
of perfection and
as i run my fingers
through your hair and
press my lips to your cheek,
i listen to your breathing
as we hold hands and
feel our reason slowly slip away.

and in the end,
nothing else will matter
because eventually, we will fade
into dust and stain the pages of history books
with your name tattooed across my heart.
