when the bell rang
and the roses
were there
I inhaled you
I cried
knowing I'd lose
at my own hand
I watched us slip
I stopped waiting for you
to take my breath
to slay me
my dragon
seeing the agony
of what we had
finish
sharing a sullen love
too much to endure
my fleeting
valentine
when you
were all mine
