we danced like wildfire upon the brim—

of a cup,

full of lies,

and of ice.

we sung like skylarks upon the wind—

on a breeze,

on a cloud,

on a dream.

we loved like tigers leaping on their prey—

with our claws,

with our teeth,

with our fury.

we left like one season upon the next—

gave our tears,

gave our hearts,

gave our lives.
