Love Poem
Of course your breath will slump. Your nose will run
Races and win. Your eyes will capture a pond
And decide without permission to let it free
At work. You'll tear your leg jumping
Over her. Will ask, why are you here? You'll hack
The walls of your home searching, clean every crevice
Point at the door, out you'll scream, why
Are you here? You'll scrape your elbow, torture your arms
Punching air, leave you'll beg. You'll run to the kitchen,
Pull off the fridge the picture from 06, point and swear
The girl is dead. Never again you'll say.
Someone will walk in on you, you'll cry
You'll say leave me, I only want to drown
Her. You'll beg. You'll sew your heart a dress
You'll cry. You'll ask why are you here? Why
Are you here? What took you so long?
Races and win. Your eyes will capture a pond
And decide without permission to let it free
At work. You'll tear your leg jumping
Over her. Will ask, why are you here? You'll hack
The walls of your home searching, clean every crevice
Point at the door, out you'll scream, why
Are you here? You'll scrape your elbow, torture your arms
Punching air, leave you'll beg. You'll run to the kitchen,
Pull off the fridge the picture from 06, point and swear
The girl is dead. Never again you'll say.
Someone will walk in on you, you'll cry
You'll say leave me, I only want to drown
Her. You'll beg. You'll sew your heart a dress
You'll cry. You'll ask why are you here? Why
Are you here? What took you so long?
