Busses be damned and the masses that follow
If I were able, I'd lie there tomorrow
He says one thing and does another
Yet I've never known a better lover
Silent and calm and asking for nothing
Not love, not safety, not harbor, just something.
If only...
to again enjoy that briefest moment
of silent contentment
when I saw past the charade
and into a soul possessing the capacity
to be kind and true and vulnerable.
