how, much ,
you'll, never, care, for me,
this, i'll not understand?
what it is, your eyes, your face, your words,
your laughter, that builds,
castles, on, my, seas, sand,
wet, with, your, touch,
and,but, and
wounded,
without, even, your, second glance,
of, all, this, i have lost count.
And, but, but , and,
in, every, pore, of, me, i let you fish,
our togetherness,
that i pearl'd,
in pain
in vain, then again, toss'd, lain,
and, but, but, and,
though, i, did not, at all, set out,
when I began,
to win, those foolish prizes, the world bestows
called poetry,
in green meadows,
for, one, lost, in , love
