Permanence.
Wet me.
Dry me.
I'm here.

Steadfast.
Burn me.
Bleed me.
No fear.

The mousetrap had been recognized
too late
I've sucked myself into the
vortex
an emotional vacuum of me and
of you

you are the Crown Jewel
Motherlode, I'm only the casing
no matter; Diamonds are forever.

Devotion.
Spill me.
Drain me.
My career.

But love me--no deposit, no return
