Why do I love her?
I do not know.
But lazer-etched images of her smile,
her tinkling laughter,
and the sway of her hips
burn in my mind as the sun,
casting all that happened before her
into lonely darkness of yesterdamnation.
Why do I love her?
I cannot say.
But the hole in my soul
that yearns for fulfillment
fits her face
exactly.
