Your arse is massive.
It has been growing, exponentially
since the day we met
cafe bold
talking to strangers
And fell
like tired icebergs
into a warm bed.
I love your arse.
It is the bell-weather

And all the nights.
Clutching its rich
softness.
Molding it, holding it.
Until the day
when we are but memories.
Colliding barrels
who once bobbed
together
on the sea of life.

why there was no more love that I could give
you drained me of all my energy
almost no life left

I've reached the bottom of the barrel
I'm scraping for all I'm worth
I'm looking hard for a companion
I've been looking since
by Lilly Mantra
I suppose you didn't think I'd make it;
I wasn't worth your time -
Probably thought there wasn't much value,
To this little
