Lullaby by Mare Wakefield

endless

i played chicken
with a pick-up truck...

that's what it was like,
loving you.

the fear
of crashing
never even
entered my fettered mind:

it was just about winning.

i never
back down

(least of all
from love) and

all the ways you have found
to deny me,

well, they won't even matter

in the end:

except to
weigh you down

with knowing
you could have had me,

but

you were
just too chicken...
