love deserves these tears
a river cried so far
puddles that flood the pillow
for such is my reservoir

empty from a promise made
no consideration for
publicity stunt was the cause
an unspecified reason to abort

turtles don’t lose pace
elephants can’t hide
none of it makes sense,
when all else was tried.
