That night you cried to me
Saying how shallow my love for you
How untrue it was,
That all night I lost my sleep
and now I come to you,
With paragraphs of lovey doveys
"
I love you truly. Truly I do.
Everything about me likes everything about you.
The snap of my neck wants you.
The way I hold my pen desires you.
The sound made by my tiniest bones
A singing symphony of our love song.
Watch out! My love burns drowns chokes you.
My hairstylist disagrees: hate her for life.
My hesitation when you burps: it is a lie, I love it
Your pleasant “good morning”: butters me
So often when I’m sleepy
Nuzzling my head on your shoulder is the next best thing
When the night comes, my heart needs a soft bolster to hang on to
so they won't miss you when I'm asleep
Layers of love, like a yummy layer cake
With glee and a childish poke
I dissect you cell by cell, so that I might love each one
individually and at leisure.
My lungs, a precious twins, joyous in every second
sharing the air you breathe, which can never have enough of you.
Leave you may,
My life will be then, a trapped broken submarine.
