Four

Did time?
Insert loneliness
In togetherness
I slept
With time
She promised
That the wave of love
Would be different
And when that tune
Turns slightly the same
They cower in their corners
They used to flirt between lines
They flitted from smiles to frowns
Was it the steadiness that drew
The risen down?
(this is just a poem)
She watched him from across the room
(I am still insanely in love)
Going through motions that were familiar
A hundred times his hair combed
and a hundred chances for a passing glance
Hearts or flutes he said
(still? do you anticipate anything else?)
But just dont do that with cats and dogs
(anything other than satisfied boredom?)
(do u find satisfaction in boredom?)
I expect our mouths to flick past words
With a bite and a tang
And a banter he said
I expect to hold the heart away
With a steel cage against the unsaid
Perhaps electrify it
Add poisoned spokes
A wired mesh
He admits to being cruel
Don't forget the sound proofing
And the suspension
And makind demands
Dont forget the insurance policy
And she to letting her worries ripen
And the backup from lloyds
Until they fall by themselves onto the ground
I love you
And i will hurt you
But I will also make you happy
She practices telling him she is leaving
Not for fear but for the lilt of the words
He practices telling her he loves her
Not for fear
But for the warmth in her eyes
She leaves one side of herself unoccupied by him
So that their separation will be quick
He looks out from the pool of her with his nose above
Another lovelorn tale to tell
And books upon books we'll SELL we'll SELL!
