[bodytext] => Among many seeds scattered,
What mattered was we cared; So, now, I am prepared To see you flower for another; We dared for an hour, But now this husk Lay in the dirt by the road, Among dried rotted leaves, At dusk on a dying day, And perish; for I am not for you. But I will cherish And relish the time we had; There was nothing bad About what we had; We cared, we shared and cried; For a while we tried, And sometimes overcame Love that could not speak its name; But I am not for you. Every woman bleeds like us, And needs like us To find someone, a kind of one To touch her heart and make herself A part of one; And, perhaps, a sister-friend Will in the end be that one Where love briefly settles upon, And spends a butterfly-day; But when that time is done, She will turn again, And return again to her ways; A womb stays; A child waits; She is not a tomb, And I am not for you.
