(We do the same things to the planet that we do to women, so what's all the fuss about?)

Global Warming

you're in a mood
now and of course
it is something
I've done

can we work this out?
can we just move on?

I will not change
nor make choices
I am only me

you will show
how you give
and I take

you will threaten
that our time
has run out

and hurl accusations

but I can bear that
it's what I do now
what I've learned

your love was safe

I never thought
we could come
to such a state

there was an eternity

but now you make
demands I cannot
comprehend

have you gone mad?

I only want
to hold you close
to never let go

sometimes I think
you make too much
of things

I never said
I was perfect

I am only me
your lover

please
be nice
