oh birthday girl you come to mind
to recollect the love we signed
a venture signed for the unknown
that ended in a pain we'd own
pains they come in shape and size
the kind we get we cant surmise
but like the prize inside the box
we ate and ate to none but rocks
the shouting match from distanced call
was only soothed by southern drawl
to come on back to steel you bought
and shout the joys my pillow caught
our ups and downs were ins and outs
what seemed to work assuaging doubts
but distance made our outs enough
to know we couldn't keep the cuff
recall do I the first we flew
the time your shock said "this is new"
recall do I the day you left
when all our love had seemed bereft
but now I see the truth of this
that you and I were meant to kiss
though not to last or build a life
to learn both sides of passion's knife
~Moses Apollo
