This moment of my life
I joke about love
In you, but the moment
i am dropping it
Like that famous white handkerchief
of leading and deceiving
You pick it up and then you tell me
Love has bloomed
Into a very lovely flower that now
I must take and smell and
Claim as my own

You know very well that my hands have chains
Daisy chains of love
Put gently around my neck
By you-know-who the woman
I call my own, my possession, my home,

You insist that nothing is wrong
With loving and anything loved and adored
All these are true and sublime and worth
The demands of our time

You are wrong there my darling
I sometimes say words without my heart involved
Words that I just want to say and
Do not really mean
Look at you, how can you ever believe me?
Look at me, how can I ever believe you?
With our chains, melanite chains in our hearts
We have long ceased loving
We have long ceased living
That is something in you that I want stopped
Do not believe me
I am not worth it, not anyone like me is worth it
The fight
The trouble, this man, this mannequin
This bulge, do you still dream?
your hands are smirking

Or even the plain thinking at night when you are alone
When you are nothing
But just yourself

You are still so beautiful! Oh! You are still so beautiful!
