Call me as property
prepare to lose said same
name me as numbered
I will soon forget your name

See me only beauty
dare not to look within
imprint me as I will soon be
not more than memory

touch me with hands alone
never touching deep
my soul
fool you are
left to weep
for I will soon be gone

taste me too briefly
not savoring sweet love
you will only get a sip of me
I will never fill your cup

~IF YOU~
brand me with fire
scorch your claim
upon my lips
scarlet letter of desire
scarred by love
I'll wear your name
