i have drunk more tonight

than your love could sober me

there are so many that i could love

but so little that i could do

for the love that i have

for you

and so i should be blessed

to lie alone tonight

and without you

so in love

i cannot see inside of you

as you lay so far

and so far away

i could be inside of you

until i have your love

inside of me

i lay so far

so what if i am

what if i am in love with you

what if  i have never been to rome

and have never been to love

in rome

to hold my love

and to have been alone

in rome

i long for new words

to stop using the word love

you should leave for a while

then return

to see if you are still here

as if you had stayed in my heart

it is so cold outside;
that my car will not start
that the snow is not soft, not pillowy, not fun
that i cannot see
that my heart is melting

i don’t even know how to feel now

 knowing that love has not left me

not hiding should come first

and not hurting next

just allowing

the wolf stalks the streets
carrying blades in its mouth
there is no way to leave him behind
he will be in your house tonight
waiting in your bed
to take a bite of your flesh
and give you nothing but hurtful love
the only way he knows
