Her first kiss
made this broken child a man
Her second kiss
broke the man's heart
I couldn't threaten
I couldn't even adore
I could only love her
for all that she is
all that she isn't
with all that I am
And I knew the price
I let her go
but kept her kiss
a pearl tucked away in my black heart
hidden as I must now hide
so the world will never find me
Alone with only the memory
of a moment
in her love
