when i wrote love like a poem
thinking it was all rhymes
til we ran out of breath saying it out loud
with our clandestine whispers-without regard of the commas and pauses

when all i cared for was the rhymes
and nothing between the lines
i knew it had to end all of a sudden
and that the love we barely hung onto
would cling to the shadow of the next
