A University Degree
A university degree in English
And yet words can not decree
How sorely I have missed you, love
Or how cold my life has been
A university degree in Biology
And yet I do not know
How my stomach twists and turns
Or how my heart can flutter so
A university degree in Chemistry
And yet I can’t explain
The rushing, whirling, twirling chemicals
That flood to heart from brain
A university degree in Maths
And I cannot comprehend
How to make this into an equation
Easy for anyone to understand
A university degree in Physics
And yet no law can tell me why
My heart drops to the bottom of my tummy
Like an apple from the sky
My education doesn’t matter
Nothing I know can ever explain
The reasons why I love you so,
It’s simply inhumane
