Cascade

Feed me your love,

but the O is hollow,

so it all seeps out.

Chasing water down the river,

that love that you give —

I crave it.

How could I live

without the touch of your hands?

the reason to why my heart still beats.

Drown me in your affection

but I will never sink;

it all dries up

as you close the door behind.

You return

and find me parched;

on all fours

begging you:

“Never leave my side again.”
