love and haunted wanting
by Cassandra Leighi'm caught
in rapture, fraught
with idle thoughts
that this, our shot
will come to naught
i'm not.
but lost and found,
on the ground,
i've come around.
6 feet down,
in this gentle sound
i drown.
my words are small,
brief, but tall.
and you! what gall--
that was all.
i fall
