NEVER AGAIN

You will come back to me many times over,
as a flower,
a white cat,
the king of hearts in a deck.

You will come to me
as love,
as a symbol of it,
as a lover I'll regret
or a dear friend I knew I'd wronged.

You will come back to me
as a lesson,
as a song,
a star shaped birthmark
on the cheek of a beautiful stranger.

You will come back to me again and again
in your shapeshifter clothes and you'll hold
your breath and wait for me to see through
your disguise, to catch you out and smile
your secret back at you knowing, like the sun,

you'll always come back,

in a multitude of miracles,

you'll always come back

like the wide, gaping mouth of a gift horse,

you'll always come back

but never, never again as yourself.

but never, never again as yourself
