embroidered across a curtain i draw out all our fears
and laid bare before your glare all my flaws appear
too bright the sunlight illuminates crocodile tears
throwing prisms, rainbows, nature's psychedelic tricks,
not as profound as we'd like, they tease those easily pleased
over and under, too fast when we don't have time, the minute hand ticks
i missed your birthday, you held it against me,
baked you a cake, it dissolved in the springtime showers,
and you sneezed, too irked to appreciate the first feeble flowers,
too oft i am overcome and lost in your exerted powers,
you play on my heart darling, winding petal'd chains for hours
the heat makes me dizzy, we soak it up. i used to think you could move mountains.
