you killed my flower

54. you are my everlasting burden.

My, my, my,

her eyes were like the sky...

So deep with an everlasting burden.

She listened for a call,

from anyone at all.

But it was only you

across the vacant lot

shooting for the lonely slot

that was her heart.

He said,

"What is the opposite of two?

A lonely me,

and a lonely you."

And from then on

she'd ache if anyone knew

she was in love with you.

Through the night's black and sweet umbilicus,

you connected your lives by a string of words.

Now, with the distance bleeding between them,

she stole a final look.

And she learned the pattern of denial is never over.
