It happened to all of me.

I felt our walls come down–
we scrambled as they crumbled.
One-by-one they tumbled–
I clenched my heart as it trembled.

I heard the cards fall
into love like gravity,
as dreams in waters tall,
drown most of me.

I watched as you realize
rough dangers advancing.
Just as quickly your eyes
displaced our gazes chancing.

I smelled desire die–
suffocated in doubt.
My lips sealed in goodbye–
a sullen pout.

I tasted the burns
of my ashes twisting,
as rebirth evades
my tired mending.

It happened to all of me.
