My Darling

Remember darling how you used to hold my head?

When I did not care to cautiously tread

On the tear-smudged shipwreck

How the sea would swoop against the deck

Was how you caught me by my cracked neck


Remember darling how you had no thread?

So you pulled pieces of your hair

Till you became a baldhead

And used it to sew my broken neck

You called me a pinhead


Remember darling how you then said

You’d be back in a sec

While I dreamt of your foolish head

And waited holding on to your every thread

And lay in your bed


To only find it was all in my head

Romance: so beautifully exquisite, souls of all kind- human or not- desire it with every single droplet of venom in their bodies. Yet sometimes romance/love becomes something only existing in heads- where reality is dread.
