Rewrite:


The Bite of Love

I wallow in a hollow bowl
The clamor wears my very soul
This cry in fly that drains me pale
Has harpoon struck my heart in wail?

The echoes spin a seamless web
A tide that never seems to ebb
A sight that haunts my dreams at night
This song a whale might sing in flight

There is no way that I can say
I would it were another way
To hold her hand and say I’m there
To dull her pain, at least to share

I kiss her on the cheek each day
To ask forgiveness in a way
I do not think she understands
Each kisses bit of contraband

I sorrow she will never know
This love I have and cannot show

Superb write, my friend

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
