Memorial Park
You came to me today
As I wandered the memorial park
Looking for my father's brick
Chilled, leaning into the vicious cold
I dream of you one night
The next day you make your intentions known
I take it as a Cosmic sign that our fates will intertwine
And so they do, though not as I expect
This will be a harsh lesson
I never had a lipstick kiss like yours
I'll taste it for years - this is not hyperbole
Fool on the Hill on the car radio
You wear your Audrey Hepburn veneer
I think you are drawn to me because you think I will see
Your sadness and anger and vulnerability
And love you wildly for all of it
You want me to tell you that you are my Muse
I’m consumed by dual thrills of illicitness and guilt
I make you material
You awaken a desire to possess you
I let you manipulate me like the others
You hate me for it
Your father has a brick here too
I don't know if you do
