      MUCH MORE THAN WE DO

      I can't remember the
      last time you
      clasped me in your

      arms, nor of the
      kiss that never
      came; never does

      I remember
      it hurt to recall
      the days gone
      just love the sun

      streaming in,
      hitting my back
      as I type my
      manuscript that
      cones together

      much more
      than we do

      ONLY GLUE

      Her hear doesn't
      Know where it is
      not on her sleeve
      but yeah...

      broken

      Can't put it in
      a sling
      Can't put a cast
      around it

      Can't mend it
      right away

      Only stitches will do
      Impossible to glue...
