STICKING

I have stuck to you like a gum,
Like lifeless leaf – to mossy shirt,
I have stuck to you like a son
Who has caught hold of mummy’s skirt.

Like a sock around your fine leg,
I’m wrapping you and our life.
Like giant leech, dug in your back,
I drink, I lap up, I suck up love!

I press you like a gravestone every night,
And in the morning – I’m a slipper, put on you.
And now - I am sticking to you - selfless, tight,
And my excessive love is choking you anew!

You thank me for my sticky love, but anyway -
Sincerely and secretly - you hate me day to day!
