If i thought that you could help me
by now
id have asked for it
and id have told you everything
but
It would have to be for something just a little more
than this self satisfied fardel
something more
than a sense of my own sufferings importance
and id have to think
for more than a minute
that it wouldnt just make you worry
and that we could really be together in this
even when i wish to be alone
and you
you
you have had my heart forever
if i had thought that we could really help each other
youd be drinking deep into my arms by now
listening to the bitter sweet sound of your medicine

Artists often have reclusive ways that seem self-indulgent, but are really not, they're just really
intense people, who the world does not want now,
especially poets. We don't bring in the dough,
so, who cares what our opinions of life are?
