unrequited (a poem)

unrequited
tell me a story – she says
her breath escaping,
a thousand silk petals tumbling
palely into twilight.
tell me – she says-
and I will stay until the end-
her eyes cradle the promise
like a spark, from the wind.
and your heart;
a thousand small birds taking wing
beat their way free,
leave without a sound.
