Our Glimpse of Eternity

As we walked together,

I felt the cold comfort of your knife

Against my throat.

 

You sensed my trust,

As those beautiful moments

Of uncertainty passed.

 

In the darkness of your heart:

The power to end my existence

At any moment; I was afraid.

 

Not fearful for love of life

Or the mysteries of this place,

But for love of you.

 

You let me into the darkest chambers of your being;

I forgave you.

 

You revealed to me your insecurities and secrets.

I loved you.

 

You promised me.

I believed you.
