Just a Note

I told you before
That pride was stronger than love
You'll hear that no more
Nor will you know what you do not believe
I never spoke first
If it all outside of poetry. I only grieve 
When I am alone, it's worse
At nights, and after the rain
I have memory like starapples
Even when ripe they disdain
To fall. I tasted them on your nipples
Once. Memory gnaws my heart
But pride keeps us apart
