Love's Inevitable Grave

Here lies the dulled memories and tattered patience
Here lies our love's grave
"Date of death," it reads
"Yesterday"

24 hours,
That's all it took
To crush a fantasy
To rewrite the book

No happy ending
It's not that kind of tale
A simple story is all,
Of a love destined to fail.

So lay down your roses,
Then flip the page,
Shed a few empty tears,
And instantly, forget our love's grave.
