Paper Anniversary

I'm really sorry I made you stalk me,
I didn't mean to call you names,

but when I found you crouched in my bushes

I thought you were quite insane.

And that night I saw those love letters,

limbo-ing under my door,

I'm really sorry I broke your nose,

I can see now I was such a bore.

I can even forgive that you 'borrowed' my cat,

skinned him alive,

and sent him back, 

as a hat.

Because when our eyes met in the court room,

much to my alarm, 

I felt something warm inside me,

and I realised you meant me no harm.

'I just wanted to be near you' you said,

and I knew that this was true,

because at that moment,

I knew that I was in love with you too.

Much time passed, and we grew closer together,

we'd creep about hand in hand,

in all sorts of weather.

But then we were in the courtroom,

for the second time,

and as the angry wardens

wrenched your tender palm from mine

The jowly judge said

'unhand your wife' 

as he sentenced us both,

to imprisonment for life.

I just felt that her infant

should have been ours,

And now we're sending love paper planes

across prison towers.
