Tombstone

I trembled ‘neath your icy glare.

Blown away,

not expecting you didn’t care.

Now I pay,

for laying all my feelings bare.

Yet you say,

that it’s all, quite truthfully, fair.

And I may,

If I am strong enough to dare,

play.

But only if I’d try your lair.

And yet stay.

For we could never make a pair.

We would lay,

upon the tombstone we’d prepared.
