It's been so long since I fell in love I'm afraid I don't have a heart
It's been so long since I've written of a man like a work of art
Wasn't I your ingenue?
Your sweet treat angel muse
You'd press your lips so hard upon my skin it'd leave a bruise
My lover, I could sketch the angles of your face all day long
and you could sing me a song, my Orpheus
Throat coated in honey, put it under my tongue
Hypnotize me till I'm helplessly sprung and strung along
I can't recall I can't recall (the last time I fell in love)
I wonder I wonder did I love you at all?

Press your fingertips upon my heart and leave a mark
I'll heal within a month, forget we ever loved
Did I love you at all? Does your heart bear the markings of a turbulent changeling, a lover worth singing of?
Did I dream you up? A pathetic school girl's fantasy
O my darling, draw me away
A musing on a past adolescent relationship with another poet. Quite romantic.
