I try not to but I need to have you
Maybe it’s true what you said
About my hormones as doomed
As Custer and just as reckless

There are many things I’m willing to give you credit for on nights like this
Even if nothing happens tonight —
It’s the notched up compatibility
In our chemistry
For every polar opposite belief

If I had more faith and perseverance
in my magic
What seems impossible now could
actually arrive
Considering the fodder for metamorphosis I’ve been dealt

I spend perhaps too much time in lament
And not enough
creating my own deliverance

Every time I do,
You appear.
