When You Were Mine

You are not so sweet.

I am not so bitter.

And we are never satisfied.

You dismiss.

I permiss.

And we are never satisfied.

You are not the same.

I am ever different.

And we are never satisfied.

You are too important.

I am too mundane.

And we are never satisfied.

You are more a boar.

I am a less a lass.

And we are never satisfied.

You will go on forever.

I will die once every day.

And we are never satisfied.

What are we ignoring?

What must we see plain?

We train to live as warriors.

Yet, we are never satisfied.
