Love Poem: Like You Did

Like You Did

I walked and pranced in murky chance
Strode and lay in love’s delay
To find that once I tried 
to cast a glance
I tripped on shattered cries
and past a wish
For you to love me like you did

In tampered sparks and trifled words 
In quartered hearts and wounded ways
Crippled sense and piercing rays
I asked for you 
and one to say
If you could love me like you did
