"He" - An Ode To Catullus, From His Darling Clodia

My dearest he
He as in you
You as in we
We as in us
Him, not at all blind to how I feel
But envious of a treasure now gone


I shall do anything for that love,
That gold I possess
Hearing his words, all about me
It brightens my day
His words, a labyrinth to the rest
For only I know the way,
The way to his heart


My darling he
He as in you
You, with me
With my sparrow now gone
There is nothing in your way
There is just he
He as in you
You as in we


You, 
Me,
We,
Us.
