breaking the bank

for your love
you
demanded
payment in full
with interest
(one over prime...)
and because
time
was short
and because
my heart
was aching
(damn near breaking)
i wrote you
the check
signed
with the ink
of my essence
on the paper
of my
desire
only to find
in next
month's
statement
that it
had never
even been cashed
