We Tried To Have Nice Things

                                    We tried to have nice things
                                    our first Winter together in the same apartment
                                     the windswept streets whitened at evening
                                     cluttered and shabby we
                                     romanticized each others presence
                                     in that darkened bedroom
                                    many an afternoon
                                    fervently boozing
                                    fornicating wildly
                                    willingly reciprocating
                                    each others
                                    willingness to learn
                                    what love meant personally
                                    that first Winter
                                    was affectionate
                                    and memorable
                                    things worked for a little while
                                    my reclusive drinking 
                                    a novelty at first and
                                    slightly humorous but
                                    how much a tell tale sign
                                    of the wreck my life was becoming
                                     my love for you was real
                                    and nothing more than what Romeo wanted
                                    with Juliet
                                     that was long ago and
                                     you are probably engaged to a veterinarian
                                     or
                                     shacked up in some lukewarm residential situation
                                     your heart is probably not in it so
                                     why kid yourself
                                     you are still a hot mess
                                     without me
