it is with deepest regret
that i don't have something better
to tell you about love
about being a sugar cube
you stir into a cup of coffee
to make it less bitter
its never worked that way for me
and I've always had to think
of something tired and stripped
of all its varnish and dignity
something I've already asked
way too much of and yet
is still there for me
night after night
when my voice and words
have long since failed
