Some Loves Are Made of This and No-Thing More

Some Loves are Made of this and No-thing More
David J Walker

It was never meant to 
Last even one day longer
Some loves are made of this and 
No-thing more

And I knew it would become 
my museum 
when I entered the door
and returned to pretend 
again and again

it could have been my prison
 if I let 
it could be the cell that 
I pace and fret 

it could have been 
a paroled portion
of my life in debt
	to another 

some-days love becomes 
a sacrifice 
some-times a monument 
to dispensation 

clemency 	amnesty
forbearance 	remission
vindication 

Some loves are made of this and 
No-thing more
