as you betray yourself,

an epitaph to fading love

that rose within a heart's

first beat,

to fall before its last.

I didn't know what I should

I didn't know what I should use as a title so looked up another word for betrayal hoping to find something a little out of the ordinary and I saw perfidy and felt it would be just right, it does sound a little dark and mysterious I think, not quite an everyday word. Sue :-)
