Have You Been Told?
To be stuffed is better than to be starving, isn’t it?
I fear for you. When I think of you I don’t think
I love you, I love you, I love you.
Well, I do, but when I think of you I think of
How are you? Have you slept? Have you ate?
Have you been told of your beauty lately because
I know how no one likes to have a second thought.
You are my second thought,
And my first and my last.
I hope you’re well and you’re slept and you’re full and you
Are known everyday of how gut achingly beautiful you are.
I hope you know it so much you get sick of it.
To be loved unbearingly is better than to be starved, isn’t it?
