Never Again

You will come back to me many times over,

As a flower,

A white cat,

The king of hearts in a deck.

You will come to me

As love,

As a symbol of it,

As a lover I'll regret

Or a dear friend I knew I'd wronged

You will come back to me

As a lesson

A song

A star shaped birthmark

On the cheek of a beautiful stranger.

You will come back to me again and again

In your shapeshifter clothes and you will hold

Your breath and wait for me to see through

Your disguise, to catch you out and smile

Your secret back at you knowing, like the sun,

You'll always come back,

In a multitude of miracles,

You'll always come back,

Like the wide, gaping mouth of a gift horse,

You'll always come back

But never, never again as yourself.
