don’t look to me for honesty
for honestly
not sure if I can give it
don’t look to me to truth
for truthfully
not sure if I understand it
don’t look to me for love
for lovingly
I’ll decline it.

there is
nowhere
you will ever go
no depth
no height
no valley
no peak
no desert
no sea
no joy
no sorrow
there is
nowhere
you will ever go
no abyss
deep enough
for me
not to find you
and carry you home
again .

I am getting older
and you are too
I might not be around
to know the older you
but you
got to know
the older me
which I suspect will look
a lot like
the older you
and
I got to know
the younger you
which I know
although you won’t agree
looks a hell of a lot
like me!

I don’t know
when the tears came
and overtook me
but I suspect
it was just
around the time
I first met you

save me
and I
will save
you too
my arms
are strong
but forgive me
your arms
at least to me
right here
right now
seem
a little  bit
not strong.

I tried
you lied
you tried
I lied
between
the trying
and
the lying
somehow
somewhere
in between
the lying and
the trying
somehow
somewhere
love
started
dying.
