The sign said
"Don't feed the birds",
don't tap on the glass,
don't give me your hand
it'll only make it worse.

You hold me close
when you call me crazy..
You like to make my mind up,
you caught me calling your bluff,
now you're angry.

Might as well take me home
in your rusted, worn out hearse,
because I'm dead to you,
and you're dead to me..
(tell me when it starts to hurt)

Interesting conversation of one. I understand the mindset of solitary conversation, believe me, so all this made perfect sense to me. I especially liked the "rusted, worn out hearse" effect.

whewwwwwwwwwwww...

and helllllllloooo  gawgeous. I'm so thrilled to see you here again--I don't even mind ducking the back of your hand.

Sizzling intensity.

Love you much, and kiss the little goddess for me, k?

love,

The first word that came to my mind was awful...The poem was great. I loved it! The emotional reaction was very strong.  Good job!
