He woke with hope and love for the new day And darkness met him and betrayed The hope vanished but brought cleansing And like the soldier onto knee bending If You are there help me like a bottle of wine A slight burn and You grow and deny It was only one time and her heart lies Spelled it out and written by He was there between each adjective That holy love linked each conjunctive If You came with your advice Her love cost more and price In front of the screen he touched the keys Writing the note with hope relieves But she has deleted his record and moved over In a seedy hotel they meet and my love choked her You told me once You told me twice My love was cooked with bitter spice Dedicated to Poetry Soupers All
