And so I lose you

As I lose every man.

I never had you

For it was over

Before it began.

 

 

You’ll never know now

The passion of my lips

And it’s lost to you

For all time.

The pleasure of my hips.

 

If you could hear me

But you were deaf to all.

You have your safe life

Why would you choose to fall

For such a strange one

So fey and wild as me?

When you have safety

In your familiarity.

 

But if only

You could have let your shackles go

No one could imagine

The kind of joy I’d let you know.

The pleasure,

Unalloyed and pure

The iridescence

But you simply did not hear.
