The last time

I felt it the moment when the end began
When I made love to you and you were not there
And I told you and I believed I wouldn't care
Your body was mine your soul wasn't neither your heart

And I knew this would be the last time
My dragon in combat for the last fire breath
Until the inevitable leap to our emotion's death
And I squirmed under your empty gaze

Fighting against this pain; I began to
Silence the flames with wine
Breaking slowly will and spine
Trying to curtail the smoldering with smoke
Waiting to finally faint and choke
Dull the emptiness by letting other man; one by one
ripping of my once sparkling scales

As time goes by
I learned to swallow the blaze
To subdue the recurrent raise
And scorch inside
And crush my pride
Until all is black coal and ashes

And I shout: " fly dragon fly"
But instead I became a dragon fly
Seeking to see as much as the remaining time allows
Hear and engrain my ember `s vows:

"I live in the now coz
When autumn comes
I will land on a water-lily
And leave".
