Poets’ Corner: Schizophrenic Lover

0

Your soft touch melts me.

My heart opens — oh, the possibilities… the warmth.

But then, all has changed.

Your tone is cold. The soft caress gone,

your ardor replaced by a numbing chill.

Soon, the glow returns.

You lull me again with sweetness,

but then follow with cold disdain.

Yet I have accepted each time you smile,

trusting this is your true nature.

Ah, April, I will not stay.

I need a more stable lover — perhaps the month of May?
