It took only but a few minutes
Finding the worn headstone
Never forgetting
Who could forget such a love
Accepting the silence
Undoubtedly one day my name will disappear
For this cemetery
Is where I've buried myself
For each one of my long lost lovers
From name tree carvings
And spoiled chocolate valentines
To the everlasting reds in the roses of dead petals
Of all the starlights in the brilliance of diamond rings
For a wise man told me
Love is narcissistic
And you only find someone to love you
As much as you love yourself
Not realizing he was wrong, until her beautiful face
Told me she loved me, just to love me
