2nd attempt at vertical wordplay (see The Real Message)

Gone.
Once we sat, heads touching, talking
Never wanting nights to end
Ending came just the same

Done.
Our warm bodies blended softly
Near the peak of esctasy
Even then, i knew "we" would not remain.

Over.
Very few have ever known
Each point of pleasure that we shared, yet
Restless heart, you'll ne'r be tamed.

No matter which way you read it,
Over or down, it's still the same.

Love has flown, no doubt about it
Over, done and gone.
Violet shades of dusk surround us
Evening closes and night reclaims
