Punctured Love

Had 
we 
but 
word 
enough 
and 
time
This 
coyness 
my 
lady 
were 
no 
crime
When 
she 
rows 
her 
boat 
down 
my 
heart
Leaving 
a 
track 
in my 
shattered 
soul
A 
track 
that 
left 
us 
across 
d road
I 
have 
been 
shot 
by 
her 
arrows
Now I 
bleed 
red 
milk 
of 
grief
Sharp 
pains 
and 
profuse 
bleeding 
at d 
pores 
with 
dissolution
An 
incarnation 
of 
infatuation
Thwarting 
and 
scratching 
d 
skin 
of my 
patience
I 
pray 
thee 
dat 
if we 
meet 
again
May 
it 
not 
be on 
a day 
like 
this
May 
we 
meet 
instead 
at 
night
When 
d 
moon 
has 
failed
That 
when 
I 
peer 
at 
thine 
eyes
I 
might 
see 
the 
Love 
dat 
tore 
my 
Love 
for 
you..
