You kissed my wrinkled forehead
Like a lady I had just slept with
Unsatisfied
By my lack of grasp
Of the situation and
What was required.
I had brought you flowers
Cut in their prime.
I loved you most likely
You can't disprove it
And I cannot write it in
My own blood.
I see you glance sideways
When you look down at me
from above.
You kiss my wrinkled forehead
And I wish I was young
If I have done you wrong
I never meant to
If meanings still mean anything
I was always on your side
Not mine.
When I cuddled a bear
The bear didn't care.
I need to do something stupid
Something stupider than before.
Stupider
Than Christ.
I can't sleep
I might miss something
Something that happens
In the hours when nothing happens.
Some day I will care
For nobody too much
But I will always love you
For now.
