it's hard to write
the last poem for
someone, although i'm
sure this won't be it.
i'm not bothered about
being obvious
as i usually am about
who i'm writing about.
i dont' really care
what effect it has on
others. i can wear
this affection on
my sleeve. i can
write it out from start
to finish. from joy
to sorrow, if that's
the road it takes.
don't read it if you don't
want to know the truth.
love is the most
wonderful of all things
and the most painful
when it doesn't work out.
to gain such pleasure
you have to make a deal,
take a risk and be
vulnerable.
