I love this filthy city with all of my ****** heart. The sweltering summer streets (the buildings themselves sweat), Where the 'cool' breeze is still thirty-four degrees, And you can't walk a metre without needing an icy drink, The sewage smell permeates through the pavement. The bitterly cold winters that numb your lips (slur your words for you--drunken in love with her), Frozen lakes and frosted branches in Regent's park, I love her icy kiss more than I love myself--more than I have ever loved anything. But I must leave, you need to know. I can't stay, I'm sorry, It will **** me. She has her hands around my neck, She strangles me with her embrace, As she tells me--softly--how softly she loves me. London, I'm sorry. I was not built for the built environment, My heart belongs in muddy fields under skies full of fresh air and clean sunsets, I yearn for the sensation of dirt and leaves under bare feet. How cruel, To fall in love with a place where you don't belong.
