I would have been happy
with the tiniest morsel.
Desperate I was
for a chance to be free,
mistakenly thinking
your love could fill the emptiness.

I remember all too well
the day I watched you saunter over
with your rugged country looks
You hovered over me as I sat
enjoying the sun
in the park that day.
A habit I quickly
learned to abhor.

Ours was an affair
born out of need
as if love could validate me
and you so willing
to endorse that thinking.

Your iron will quickly imposed
upon mine.


It ended badly, as desperate love
always does.  With each of us
walking away, content with
simple memories, for the complex
would reveal too much.
