The End (Climax)

He told her that he loved-
Her, and she did the same.
She believed him;
Feeling herself to be inadequate.
She misses how they'd fight,
Just trivial things,
But he always came back,
She'd always take him back.
Tender moments fading
Into black pixels
That were never enough.
She needs him deep inside.
Like a vaccination,
To feel the sting of protection.
He never seemed to trust-
Her, but she let him.
Because he love(s,d) her.
Pitiful, betraying mind,
Rooted in the world's hardships-
It wouldn't let her have him.
"Hold back! Don't change!"
A constant inner struggle.
And him, always too perceptive,
Held out a double-edged sword,
And asked her to pick a side.
She couldn't deceive (he'd know),
So her traitorous fingers
Spelled it to him;
Of needing him deep
And resenting that need.
Swing like a clock pendulum,
Clean swipe to sever the ties.
Or so he thinks.
But you can't remove-
Someone who's inside you.
Re-reading his words, confessions,
Wanting to delete him,
Knowing it would kill her.
Move on, past daylight,
Past dreams, past conscious.
He's still there.
She's still here.
Struggle to find-
The beauty in this chaos.
