Through my front door does beauty float
Lovely and graceful as a bird
Lips I longed to kiss say “I love you”
She knows not the meaning of the word
I’d offered her my oft broke heart
Was this so great a sin
Familiar scent of booze and sex
Announcing where she’s been
Her dainty lips, they peck my cheek
From her end all is well
She’s gone all week, beds all but me
Can she not see I’m in hell
Enough, I say, demand she stay
Acknowledge me as your mate
This two-way street she deems unfair
This will not be my fate
My steel resolve to end this joke
It melts like wax near a flame
I gaze upon her tiny form
But only wish to speak her name
