The first time

I remember the first time I came to you

When I left his care and entered yours

How my poetry cured you

How everything I said cured you

And you were insatiable for me to talk

Your hunger scared and excited me

Your cruelty unreasonable

Your innocence

As tender as butterflies

Drinking tears

Here we are

Years later

I have to say goodbye

To the love of my life

And love changes hands

Once again
