I.
She’s so beautiful, isn’t she?
Bright blue eyes on a porcelain face,
dimples turned to puddles in the rain.
To compare her and me -
the contrast of a flower and a stone.
No, there is nothing to compare;
you gently pluck her jacket like a final
petal as if to count, “she loves me,
she loves me not.”
I love you. You love me not.
My two friends, you’re quite a pair.
II.
Perhaps it was not a sign that
your hand was so contoured to
fit my fingers, that striations of our
eyes were scarred the same.
I never cried telling you goodbye.
I won’t cry now.
I wouldn’t do that.
Oh, that’s a lie.
IV.
You adore her when she opens
to the sunshine, and even more
when she withers in your arms.
We’ve all been together long enough
to know that this is not pretense,
and you have looked long enough
into my eyes to see that I am strong
enough to cope. Like a stone,
I'm too heavy to carry along.
I'm dreaming in the rain, wishing
I could break enough to suit you.
