Echo Came Back

with smiles dabbing colors of sunrise
we chiseled a sculpture in our hearts
addictive pleasure of our teasing flirts  
we thought we would never drift apart. 
a crystal wine cup,.. clutched too hard,
bleeding cuts,..in pieces...broken glass.
a silent whisper, "please come back".
an echo came back,..too faint.. alas!
