"Left for Dead"
Copyright (c) 2011.06.09 by Werner Domroese

with but a single smile
you took my breath away
but didn't notice the silence
left by my missing heartbeat

this went on for quite a while
until you smothered me
concealing a subtle glance
I was promptly overrun
with even more anxiety

left for dead
for you would not stay
after words
I dared not say
dying of curiosity
afterwards
