Last Curtain Call

i have sweet dreams, and

melancholy feelings
as long shadows

mark the
 wall   

 it is the

 framework

of our love affair making 

 its last
and final curtain call

the finale of a performance - torn 

as lights complete a slow,
 dire  fading out,
and you bow your head in

 silence

 to bless mine

with a fatal kiss

while the stage play that was - us

escapes

 unnoticed down the hall
