Goodbye Love, Version 2

Goodnight, firefly, flap into Oblivion, for a lover's light has vanished. Oh, Romeo, wherefore this Devastating doom?! Bury me too, night sky! Yield nothing in return. Every forbidden kiss was never mine. Let them find us bound together. Over your limp heart I flap. Vexation has overtaken us, grieving into eternity. Each heartbeat falls heavy as I discreetly die over you. 1/6/2020

Thanks, Chris. It came to me randomly, brought me back to younger, foolish days.

Thanks, Sandra. I wrote both versions in the dark, half asleep as I usually write. I was going to combine the two when light came, but just wrote them separate instead.
