Your beauty, desirable and pure, alas
Now merely superficial and ephemeral
Is only a reminder of what once was
And this attraction, still burns with passion, but it burns
This sickening affection nailed to my chest
is keeping me waiting for your return
and the rust of the nail infecting my skin
keeps telling me that there's room for you

And offered you my being as token of affection
If only I had fathomed the unavailability of your heart, your eyes, your hips
I would have avoided your betrayal and rejection.
And reproduction was not my only intention
motivation, devotion, fascinat
