|
you were sublime noontide to my twilight
by Vere Mantratriadremember the time
I had to apologize
for my brain leaking
out onto your pillow?
it was after youd said
the things I can no longer remember
and I told you I loved you
(or whispered it
-
or thought it)
and you asked if I was ok
a millisecond before
you rolled over
and nodded me off
you were always
so very charming
when you feigned
what I hoped was true
