conditional

as if i had dreamt to the ends of this affair

what grew and fell in love with you

in every stirring detail

then wakes to feel the arm of a different man
wrapped around my chest like armor

Katy, this is gorgeous, heartbreakingly gorgeous! Though I'd want it to be longer... Go on, go on!

Like Armor

As if I
had dreamt to the ends
of this affair,

what grew and fell,
in love with you,
in every stirring detail,

then wakes to feel the arm
of a different man,
wrapped around my chest.
