Overwhelming Doubt

Can we make a date;

can we make a date for life;

can we make a date for summer swings

and long soft snowy nights;

Can we make a date?

for dreams:

for songs:

for hair too long

silky down my bare back.

Understand,

there is a schedule,

a pre-set plan to follow

so can I make a date for love

or will I always be so hollow?

Can I make a date?

Should I make a date with Death,

or will she come

all by herself.
