if you desired the ease of laying in the warm sun
longed for a worriless night
what distorted haze led you to my door?
just a clear as the blue ocean water
all my short comings come into view
the basic needs I never concern myself with
yet the muddy confusion set in
once you gazed into the vibrant green
and made yourself a temporary home within
if you desired me without me
what was the gain to be?
