"I'm in love with her."
His declaration fell
From the heavens
Like a star
Burning my soul
As it landed.
Not a fire of passion
Nor the ache of desire
Hopeless as Tantalus
Reaching
For the fruit of his tomb
But the cries of a dove
Tripping over its wings
Message in beak
As it plummets to the ground
The words of a lover
Perishing with it.
He loves her.
I am a fallen angel
Betrayed by a god.
