taking your time
means time taken
from the end
anyway
so
i dive in head first
and
make up for it
later on

i have a way with words
making them twist
like
molding clay
from
things of beauty
into
sculptures of decay

so
let’s play a game
we will put our hearts up
raise the ante
until one of us
is madly in love
and
the other loses it all

because
if i am honest
and
we both know
i have a bad habit
of
being truthful
i have already given
the best parts of myself
to you
in words
or
in thoughts
