i woke up to love,
i went to sleep ,with love
it followed me, everywhere
i wanted it to, go away
its burden ,was too
much
when it left, i cried
all day
and, it said, what do you
want , of me?
here, or, dead
i said , i dont know,
here, or, gone
both, i dread,
love?

Walt,you are a very feeling chap, for sure, and the love thing, goddess, emotion,or temporary lack of a beloved, is so well expressed—and being creative helps. Our capacity for love, fortunately, goes on as long as.
