Standing at your grave
remembering your last words
"I love you more than life," you said.
Never did I know you'd kill yourself .
I loved you once.....
yet you smothered it
with constant accusations
now here I am
flowers in hand
standing at your grave!

A selfish love is no different than hate because it doesn't know what giving is and all it knows is taking. I like how your characters were different one is selfish enough to leave someone behind and one is giving enough to be captivated by the departure of a selfish love.
Thanks for entering.

It"s even harder when love leaves selfishly...as in having the last word, and being left with mixed emotion!
