I realised that we had run out of time
Your eyes were dead in your head
Your mouth was like a line
Underscoring the seriousness of it all
You avoided my eye
You gripped my hand in yours
There was an eternity in that pause
I pressed my face to the half-opened window
To suppress the falling tears
A memory that haunted me for years
The air was moist, I remember
There was a hint of autumn's frost
I was lost
I was unable to comprehend the forever of our last kiss
I never imagined that it would come to this
I never imagined that it would come to this
I was unable to comprehend the forever of our last kiss
I was lost
There was a hint of autumn's frost
The air was moist, I remember
A memory that haunted me for years
To suppress the falling tears
I pressed my face to the half-opened window
There was an eternity in that pause
You gripped my hand in yours
You avoided my eye
Underscoring the seriousness of it all

just one suggestion; remove any words that don't do anything but extend the line.
'that' on the 1st line
'in your head' on the 2nd
and so on.
the title is perfect for the type of poem you've written

thanks for the read
