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