PORCELAIN VASE, by                    
First Line: Her love was like a porcelain vase
Last Line: And rather more for use.
Subject(s): Love


Her love was like a porcelain vase
That any touch would crack:
You felt as if an ardent gaze
Would take her quite aback.

I am not quick to strike a blow,
Nor careless in abuse;
But still I like them less for show,
And rather more for use.
