The Second Song (poem)

You gave me two songs
to serenade you with.
I learned one in a heartbeat,
started to learn it on the piano,
but we fell apart before I could.

I've learned the other now.
I put off hearing it for a while,
but then it crept on slowly, quietly,
and captured my heart and attention,
even though I didn't want to like it.

I think of singing it to you,
putting it into a concert you'll attend
as if we were still together,
just to give you something you deserve,
one of the many I never gave you.

-Zero
