you, me & carole king
in sugar-drenched
candy-striped
fascination days
gulped down with mutual adoration,
convinced we needed each other
more than air -
it was you, me
& carole king.
now wax-drippings flickering,
carole, queen of
chocolate promises,
broken hearts,
sings plaintively
into endless insomniac night,
defining the well-worn path
you trod across my heart
with every bittersweet note.
