liar

I was a fool
selfish beyond belief--to love beyond your capacity
to reach beyond what you can grasp with a firm hand
love, especially, is a hard-eyed goddess
she appreciates, above all, expertise
I will never lose myself in you again
but will walk with you and in you
heedless and rejoicing
one more bright companion
like the sunbeams--that shoot across your edges
ha!--I will be a liar
you cannot breach the film of my eyes
I love you still

merci du compliment!

I like "stingy"... that's a good word.
