If I could love you more
then surely I would
but just as the day forgets the night
I forget the bad remembering the good
Some nights your arms cover me
like the earth's anchor keeping me from dreams
but when the cool sun salutes a pregnant dawn
your hands and lips say all is not as it seems
Perhaps it's merely the instinctual
fear that followed my grandmother from the Ivory Coast
that gives me headaches
every time you force me to hear your boasts
I think in February I could leave
but all too soon its May
and the thought that November will come
always makes me stay
