Empty Wine Bottles

Too much fear,
not enough hope
and what tomorrow brings
none of us know.

Still,
your kiss is on my mind
and while, from my lips
logic spills
I wish you'd ignore
I wish you'd demand
I wish you'd try.

But,
it's too much
and I understand.
Neither of us dare bare
responsibility
when it all goes wrong.

For wrong it must go.

So I shall believe.
So I shall know.

So you shall trust.

And hence we will end
before we let a beginning take seed.
