A million poems about you <br />Just blow around and around <br />In the dusty, cool air <br />There is no anchor, <br />Except for my sad heart <br /> <br />If I could, I would become invisible <br />and draw you near <br />And whisper to you: <br />Are you so sure? <br />(god help me) are you so sure? <br /> <br />Creating love is the biggest lie of all, <br />The most sorrowful one <br />The one that causes little sparrows <br />to fall dead to the ground; <br />the one that makes the fall leaves <br />crackle as they are crushed <br />under your distracted feet <br /> <br />The one that makes your heart pound happily with <br />hope: bu-bump, bu-bump, bu-bump <br />eternal song of sweet sorrow; <br />palpable <br /> <br />How many have died from this most evil of lies? <br />This most brilliant of gifts? <br />Why? Why give this to us? <br />a bargain with death; <br />a small white flower with your breath on it<br /><br />jennifer killian<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/god-save-me-from-this-nightmare/
