I used to write poetry for an Englishman During summer days I cried in ways I wish he'd never see But I still find myself thinking of that other me Kissing my boy along the campus greenery I used to write poetry for an Englishman I helped him pack the car the night he left I used to write poetry for an Englishman I should've told him all the things I thought could wait Now I find myself praying myself to sleep Singing someone else's songs They don't belong to me No more poems to write I've forgotten how to cry Nothing to compose Just prayers to recite I used to write poetry for an Englishman He wrote me back with kisses on the page Father Warner grabbed me by the collar In his eyes I saw his moon and my changing tide
