Does Not Suffice

I will pack all my pretty dresses
I will box up my high-heeled shoes
A sparkling ring for every finger
I'll put away and hide from view
I'll tuck away my gilded buttons
I'll bind my silks in shapeless bales
Wrap it all up in reams o' tissue
And then I'll kiss you sweet farewell
You saw me rise to our occasion
And so deny the evidence
'Caused me to burn and twist against you
Like something caught on a barbed wire fence
Now you can see me fall back here redoubled
Full bewildered and amazed
I have gotten into some terrible trouble
Beneath your blank and rinsing gaze
It does not suffice for you to say I am a sweet boy
Or to say you hate to see me sad because of you
It does not suffice to merely lie beside each other
As those who love each other do
The tap of hangers swaying in the closet
Unburdened hooks and empty drawers
And everywhere I tried to love you
Is yours again and only yours
