To conflate
being in love
With
being happy
The latter so
Often eludes me
But I fall in love
Almost every week
Which is greater?
The love
Or
The joy?
Contentness?
Or
Companionship?
Normally
The two muses
Make residence
At the same time
And they leave me
In the same way
I'm either happy
And in love
Or depressed
And lonely
So, yes, it's easy
To conflate the two, yet
I fall in love with you
All the more

To conflate

With

The latter so
Often eludes me
But I fall in love
Almost every week
Which is greater?

Normally
The two muses
Make residence
At the same time
And they leave me
In the same way
I'm either happy
And in love
Or depressed
And lonely
So, yes, it's easy
To conflate the two, yet
I fall in love with you
All the more
