morning sunshine
though it may be shitty later

a single kiss is all it took to fell
the mighty and aloof, infection free
and self-proclaimed artistic poet. Tell
the world of how unbound I came to be
since my lips had touched the fateful fruit. All
you wanted was some isolated touch;
a pairing of such flesh so far to fall
but never did you ever ask do much
as what I gave, and now I've given more
of health and self; a sacrifice, I swear
that means so little in the life I bore
and yet is now a burden I can bear.
An end to solitary life I seek
but stay confined I must; at least a week.
