Her blood lips and pale face was a moon in the night He held her with gentle whispers of things unsaid between the two The thick, dead silence of only living words but death to strike them down with bullets hurting like swords When they first met He gave her a pen She left him with words He was her first She was his first A forbidden love But she had to let him go He couldn't take away the pain She died with the words "You were my first, and only love, I love you" The paper got lost in the wind. And so did he.
