For you I tarried not, but hurried,

Rushing into a mess 

of rash declarations and swift rejections.



Allow me now

a little self-pity.



For you I toiled unwearingly,

and procured nothing

But gratitude ---



Allow me now

a little self-pity.



For you I spent my nights

tossing cans, emptied,

But missing the litter bin ;

You were with your lover then.

Allow me now

a little self-pity.
