| I loved you yesterday: I sensed all your lofty nature in my mind- You were so special among the crowd, Too shiny a spark, to star at- The brightest moon among the stars, so bright; You were so ripen an apple- For a passer-by to, instantly, turn and stumble, The great Creator must have invested his superb skill, You have seen a bee, for a single shot, paying its life- It adores the Queen and dies for the Hive. It's different today: I so loved my self the most- I made my mind up to pay whatsoever it may cost, For my self to have meaning in the living; I will prove my shield again like the bee does for the Queen, Not only because you deserve dying for- But to bear meaning in my life some more; Do you think it's too selfish, my dear- To have you canned and put into a refrigerator? « return. |
