Unpunctuated Valentine

Does every life end
With an ellipsis or a colon
Or with a question mark
Rhetorical or ironic
Or with an exclamation point
As in the beginning as in Spanish
Reversed like an announcement
Or a warning of some surprise
Buried in the story
To get ready for what's coming
The placement of a period
Must be rare sparingly used
Whoever writes the text
Lest it seem to pause what's next
