Hannah Flowers
i've exaggerated you in my head
i saw love where it wasn't yet
you broke my heart gently in your bed
and cradled me, soft against your chest
in the morning, you fed and kissed me
and when i turned around, stood waving
on the way home, kept composed, behaving
the sea didn't take me as i'd been praying
it's my secret that i've mourned for weeks
my disappointment is not yours to keep
just forgive me if i shake when i speak
it's steady downhill after the peak
