When we first met you shook and blushed
Your heart, it beat, your blood, it rushed
I took your hand, you took my heart
Skin swore that it would never part
We swore we would not fall apart
You smile though you grow more tense,
Without a thought, and lacking sense,
At touches blanch, your color spills.
The next day you were cold and still
Ignored me; you ignore me still.
As time goes by, it softly grows;
Like breath escapes your mouth and nose.
You open yourself up; your eyes
Still staring, each lash forwards flies;
Forgive me, darling, time still flies.
Your face has darkened, still you grin;
You’re melting in my arms again;
Aglow with warmth, with growth so rife;
So soft, you seem so full of life;
You seem, and seeming’s more than life.
Your eyes so big, your smile so wide,
Your hair so fair, your face uneyed,
You lie there still; still I’m bereft
You’ve been picked clean, but were you left?
I’m not quite sure you haven’t left.
