Our Love Story in A Day

Morning

I woke up,

Giddy with excitement,

Because you are the first thing I see when I wake up,

The best thing that’s ever happened to me.

Noon

The sun is at its zenith in the sky,

As passionate as our bodies are between the sheets pressed together,

We were so high that we could see the gods on Olympus,

We challenged Zeus and Hera for their place as king and queen.

Afternoon

We flew like Icarus,

Our love soon burned up from getting too high, too quickly,

Too close to the sun,

Our love falling apart like Rome.

Evening

The fall shattered us into pieces,

Unable to be sewn back together,

You saw a pretty nymph and followed her,

And I was left to pick up the pieces of my heart, alone.

Night

I wonder how many names you’ve marked off your list,

I wonder which pretty nymph graces your bed tonight,

Which one sings most beautifully in bed.

I wonder if I’ll even make it through the night.
