Tribute to Sophie Hannah Copyright © Thraves Thraveson 2009

I've fallen in love with a poet
She's sharp and she's quick and she's mean
She uses her words like a dagger
to inflict a wound that's unseen

I've fallen in love with a poet
Her words are all that I know
but I'll follow her to the ends of the earth
and weather the storms that she'll blow

I've fallen in love with a poet
She'll take me apart at the seams
But the words that she writes
well I love 'um, and she inhabits my dreams

I've fallen in love with a poet
I know it'll all end in tears
I hope that they're mine 'cause I love her
and I wouldn't want to shed hers
