Here Lies Love

All in a tear drop
this love for you falls
from a single tear drop
my tired heart calls

It was once in a kiss
that held all the world
more than a gesture of eternal bliss
but these lips have turned cold

My love was inside this bloom
this flower blessed by moon beam and sun
but devotion beckons a certain doom
when the petals fade and roots are undone

It was here now forever gone
Gone away from daylight and fevered sun
a love untended is an immortal wrong
but atleast it didnot die without before being sung
