You And Your Damned Cliches

Ten years since first you purred
that my voice was melliferous,
since your eyes pinned me
to a place where your touch
was inevitable,
and I don't know how many
bad cliches
when guilt, obligation
of simply a change of season
sent you off again,
whispering "in another life",
or "star crossed, that's us"
but THIS TIME
you hit me with the grand poobah
of all the hackneyed verses,
"Let's keep in touch".
Damn you---
those are break up words.
Translation:
Drop me a line
so I know you're breathing
because we sure as HELL won't be "in touch".
I could forgive you indifference,
and flighty disregard,
but the damned CLICHES?
From a man who made me his muse
couldn't we try
for something original, this once?
