Erudite

I miss the longing of our love When it walked on babies legs And you clung to me Like I learned to cling to you Before dreams of shattered teeth Before my heart bore you to sleep With falsely warm arms wrapped around my chest Do You Love Me Anymore? To nights sleepless in Berlin And early morning sunrises And the most pleasant surprise That you hadn't left me after all Now you don't even call Even ask So I fall apart Unraveling far from your eyes For now, to see me, they must beg and seek My ego, shriveled back in its shell I tried to warn you, Erudite Loving a child never ends well.
