My Tears
i look back
the tears stream
the years we had
those good times
unfathomable
why did i deserve them?
i look back
i see your face
tired and drunk and dishevelled
so pretty
indefatigable
this image holds fast
i recall one night
i told you everything
so rich,
this reward of years
the banquet of our life
could sustain legions
i look back
the tears stream
we had defied love's cold truth
against all odds
that chemical lie shattered
i look at you
skin so blue
it had us fooled
