Of bitten lips tears do fall
the sweet & salty sting of it all
the days stuck in my mind
of you of me of we the bind
of true love crept up from
behind the misty veiled eyes
took my heart by sweet surprise

the moment settled among
the stars, you took me there
on daily jaunts, from hot
summer days to  life on Mars
as winter set Sol on the run
soon sealed our love by frosted sun

memory flood gates will unbidden open
forgetting how dire my dear heart broken
fragmented shards shining through
their shimmer masks the pain of you

it's time to lay with you again
if only by my writers pen
the day we broke our bed to pieces
(f*cked it to death may it rest in peace)
unaware wrecked til shudders did cease
then laughed and rolled around like kids

so many many times like these
we slept on the floor then for a week
you bid me "a worthy replacement seek"
was your instruction whispered in my ear
as you pulled me close your intention clear

all of these days now frozen in time
just shadow boxing in my mind
it's done once more, as it was then
older beginnings meet newer ends
