Aniffwe Poem by John Howard Davies

ANIFFWE

ANIFFWE CROSSED A MILLION SKIES
ANIFFWE TOLD TEN ZILLION LIES
ANIFFWE LOOKED SOMEWHAT SURPRISED
AT WHAT WE ENDED UP WITH

ANIFFWE MADE A PROMISE TO
ANIFFWE DIDN'T KEEP IT TRUE
ANIFFWE FELT SO DOWN AND BLUE
WHAT STRESS WOULD WE BE LEFT WITH

ANIFFWE DID WHAT WE PROMISED TO
ANIFFWE DID IT TO ME AND YOU
ANIFFWE TIGHTENED UP THE SCREW
THERE'D BE NOTHING LEFT TO PLAY WITH

ANIFFWE BLAMED US EQUALLY
ANIFFWE STOOD SO SOLIDLY
ANIFFWE COULDN'T POSSIBLY
COME TO SOME AGREEMENT

ANIFFWE SHOUTED AIMLESSLY
ANIFFWE COULDN'T PLAINLY SEE
ANIFFWE WANTED TO BE FREE
ME FROM YOU AND YOU FROM ME

ANIFFWE TOOK THOSE STEPS TO BE
ANIFFWE WERE A MEMORY
ANIFFWE FOUND ANOTHERS PLEA
ENOUGH TO PLACE A HEART IN

ANIFFWE SAID GOODBYE AT LAST
ANIFFWE NEVER CROSSED EACH OTHERS PATH
ANIFFWE CUT OURSELVES IN HALF
THE DREAM WILL BURST INTO THE PAST.
