No One Ever Marries Me

Moments are so temporary

I asked, once, for forever

And I am glad to let it go

I mourn in moments

That I so easily

Slip from every grasp

It is never without

Thorny cuts

And scars meant to last.

Your name sounds like

Songbird music

And you taught me how to

Love

And I always remember

The small child I was;

Every day has four seasons

And my winter is harsh

To everyone

I want to let you in,

My love

I want to write your song:

The world is not a cruel place

Without human intention

And without human intention

I have an empty cup

Nothing lasts forever

Even in death do we part.

The only honesty I've ever seen

Is ducks in a stream,

A river flowing freely,

And the leafing of spring trees.

You could not convince me

Of anything, here and now,

The only world I believe in

Is the one

That I have found
