Stay

It’s been a long time
Anytime is not long enough
Anyone but you and your arrogance
Your petty ego, your petty torso
You have always known
You were inadequate
There’s nothing you have
That I want, except your body
And that’s a lot
I stammer, I falter
I yearn, I crave
You have finally given it away
Not in a huff
You are forty
Forty and small
Threescore and more
I never did learn to count
I hate, that’s what I’m good at
You are hateful
You have always been good at that
We have stayed away
From each other long enough
Damn the distance, damn the years
I dream, you scream
