moonsaulting amy

With melancholy and gaiety

she consumes the undeserved

while I so decidedly worthy

ache


Who so capable

has resigned preventing rust

and allowed it to grow

upon its own accord

The effort to stop it

no longer within my grasp


The unforced sigh of sadness

leads the attack

For who better to appraise my weakness

than I who have exploited it for so long




While I saunter down this spiral staircase

when I should plummet


With melancholy and gaiety

she consumes the deserved

while I so decidedly undeserved

ache
