Does my sexiness upset you? <br /> Does it come as a surprise <br /> That I dance like I&#039;ve got diamonds <br /> At the meeting of my thighs? <br /> - Maya Angelou, Still I Rise<br /> <br /> Nothing ends<br /> Nothing ever ends<br /> - Dr. Manhattan, Watchmen

It started with your poem
about the girl
that sounds and awful lot like me

And I said
I would never write a poem
about someone
I was romantically entangled with

That is only
partially true

I have written many poems
about you
that will never be read

I would rather you not know
how much you mean to me

I would rather
have power
than love
