atoms that love me\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

within reach<\/span><\/p>\n

let their energy flow\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

through me often enough<\/span><\/p>\n

that I remember the likeness,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

not of their faces\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I am begging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Please.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

when I am not here\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

for you to see.<\/span><\/p>\n
