IN LOVE

Don't you know who I am?

I am the pessimist of all pessimists
the bitterest of all that's bitter
the most cynical of cynics
the least hopeless of romantics
the one with the smallest amount of faith

in love.

Dare you make disappear
The useless poetry, the make-believe stars, the wilted roses
The buckets of tears
The drops of blood

They will not be looked over.
They will not be set aside.
They will remain
where everyone can see
why nothing can stay beautiful and sweet and real

in love.

I will not let a lifetime
of anger and of tears
of knowledge
waste away because of a few days
really, just mere seconds

in love.
