Feb 2019
Two years since we've talked
And your picture appears
Uncalled upon my screen
For untold scores to leer

You lie about your age
You go by a different name
You have a new tattoo
Spread across your frame

But your lips are still the same
Your eyes quite distinct
As the diamond stud that
Rests high upon your cheek

You're more beautiful
Than I dare to remember

More beautiful than I dare
To remember

Still your kiss
Can't be out done
As every girl since
Has come to learn

As if they felt your absence
When our bodies meet
Far more than my presence
And know they can't compete

Yes, your absence is felt
Far more than my presence

I'm not so surprised
In some small way satisfied
Was the money you left me for
Not enough to keep you occupied?
To "Lacey"
