I loved once (unreturned)
and could never find a
place to leave those
feelings,

no receptacle for unwanted
affection,
no bin for stifled
desire.

When so much love
can find no home,
it pools like welling
panic,

a trapped bird,
frantic wings beating
against clean
glass,

until toxic,  
a deep, green illness
that kills so
slowly,

the body forgets
to die.

is my favourite line and then, of course, a great ending. Great endings make my day.
