Love Poem: Amity

Amity

It tastes like simplicity

like innocent

distant memory


You're helpless

Oh, hopeless

and so full of life

it stings


No, I'm not jealous

or vindictive

just brought down by

fairy-tale romantics


But you never offered

not hesitence

or forever


And I've craved this

like repression

craves wings


So, for memories sake

and absence alone

don't say love

like laughter


Or remember me

like hate

remembers names.
