will love ever die?

enjoy every moment
tears welling behind closed eyes

as I heave the corpse of my
love story
to its final resting place

'are you okay?' asks a stranger (or someone I thought I knew)
'define, okay', I say, 'so I can tell'

my soul is watering through my eyes

the stranger embraces me
'happy valentine's day'
love is in the air

I look back
at the fumes arising
out of the ground
where my love story lay

will love ever die?
even to this day
