danny

you always did know
what i wanted to say
my wiggling toes
they gave me away
sipping martinis,
me with my guinness
nomads together
with sweet little kisses
loquacious we were
big words of the day
singing and laughing
and playing away
but in all of the fun
i started to see
the anger lay hidden
from everyone but me
they say once the heart falls
it can only crash down
love strewn across concrete
curses thrown all around

and its at that point
that one has to decide
whether love conquers all
like jealously and pride
i waited for you
to ask me to stay
and clutch at your heart
but to my dismay
you just were not able
to fight for our love
to spare me the curses
and hold me from above
i never could hate you
i cared far too much
and sitting here i long
once again for your touch
now i'll spare you my tears
but i'll rhyme one last line
if you could conquer your anger
i would love to call you mine.
