A poem inspired by the film Me Before You
Alpine light filters through a gauzy curtain
A final pressing of lips to lips
Breath to breath
Our teardrops salty mingle
A sip of water
Seductive in its simplicity
But in truth the agony becomes yours
Instead of mine
It’s not as simple as new shoes
But I’ll walk in them today
By your side
Heels click-clacking
Arches aching hot
Beauty and pain like it’s always been
I won’t leave.
