Poems
Jan 2020
my lover, Circumstance
Oh, my lover
Circumstance
You've gotten ahold of me
Once again.
Today, you have me
By the hand
Tomorrow,
Around the throat.
It's heady enough
To get me high
But that may just be
Because I can't breathe.
Oh, my lover
Circumstance
Come to bed with me.
We'll settle down
Around the break of dawn
Rise from our slumbers
Well into the afternoon.
We can't get our hands
Off of one another.
You can't take your eyes
Off of me.
I can't get
Away from you.
I have the feeling
You'll always be
After me.
Oh, my lover
Circumstance
How I wish
You would let me go.
Relinquish your grip
On my neck
Release my skin
From between your teeth.
My dizzy existence
Wants to touch the ground again.
My selfish heart
Wishes you would
Find some other poor girl
To 'love.'
