if on a sunny day

look at the little
lovesick girl,
and the way her
quiet lips curl

common sense
she has none for now,
real colors of him
she will not allow

she will eat 
some nothingness:
his free words, 
her golden guess

should he be absent
she'll stay lame
today and tomorrow
all one and same

her mother and father
do not know
their sweet daughter's
highs and lows

for him this way 
she ought not to live,
for all she does
is offer and give

if on a sunny day she wears her heart, let us
hope there'd be only warm rain to start.
