tell me, love
does the world end for you
as it does for me
over
and
over
and
over
again
does it's genesis
startle you awake
the next morning
as you feel for the empty space next to you
things were too good to be true
but nothing surprises me much anymore
and the cups of meloncholy lovers have
overflowed before
into puddles of what shouldn't be
don't make it hurt
my love
please
be gentle with me
my shield is not yet fully formed
you see
