I have given all

naturememorytimelovemortalitysolitude

I have given all

There is nothing left

No residue

Last dregs

Or final drop

The cuts are too deep

Severing the connection

Between us

I bore them

In the belief

There would be time enough

For healing

Another kiss

To steal my heart

Further away

From gradual erosion

A moment of bliss

A seal to staunch

The flow

The remorseless

Passage of life

Without you

But sadly no

Once the

Final cord is cut

There is no return

To this world

Alone

In love

We burn
