Words escape me,
Fall through like the sands in an hourglass.
It's not that I don't have anything to say,
or anything to write.
But when it comes to you
what can I say,
or simply write about.
You are a much more complex specimen
than any strand of words can simply tell about.
So I'll leave you up for interpretation,
floating through the vacuum
of my incoherent thoughts.

I have been broken.
Left in despair,
thrown out on the curb for all to see.
I have been beaten.
By the lies society
for so long told me were acceptable.
I have been humiliated.
By the ghosts of my past,
the ghosts I loved and cherished.
But you,
you were different.
You encouraged change,
in fact demanded it.
You made those ghost disappear
and brought new life in their places.
You are humble,
gentle,
loving,
you are sovereign.
You've picked me up from the muck and filth of this world
and given me a life worth meaning.
And for that I am forever grateful,
I am forever yours.
But.
I am broken still,
beaten still,
humiliated still,
and yet you accept me.
Still you love,
you love me with all my countless blemishes.
Why?
How?
Perhaps, I'll never know.
But what I do know,
is that through it all
I am faithful.

Poison.
The words flowing from your mouth,
and with each dose I become more and more impaired.
With each dose life slips
from my once warm body.
The thought of one more word
drives me to bizarre extremes,
extremes that are even too
extreme for the most extreme
Extremes!
Congratulations.
You've done it,
you've broken me down so far,
even I, don't know where I've gone off to.
You won't find me on a milk carton,
on the news,
or any plastered up posters across town.
In fact you won't find me at all.
I've gone missing, yes.
But I'm very much still here.
Hanging onto every word.

"I hate your cooking",
"This is the best apple pie I've ever had",
"I LOVE you",
"This isn't going to work out".
"I LOVE you",
"That blouse doesn't work for you".
"I LOVE you"
"I LOVE you!"
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Tell them,
we aren't promised tomorrow.
Tell them today
right now,
this very second.
Tell them tomorrow,
Saturday,
Halloween,
Christmas Eve,
the day your child is born.
Tell them when you hate them,
don't hate.
Tell them when they've wronged you,
time and time again.
Tell them when they don't deserve it.
Tell them when they do deserve it.
Tell them just to tell them,
just so they don't forget.
Just tell them.
Life is too precious.
I LOVE you.

You had me at "Goodbye",
For it was then that I knew
I'd never find someone like you again.
Your reckless nature,
your careless soul,
unbridled spirit
It drove me crazy.
I could hardly stand a moment when you were near
and when you were around
I wanted so badly for you to be gone.
What I hated the most about you,
is that it was the reckless nature,
it was
the careless soul,
and
the unbridled spirit
that sent me repeatedly head over heels for you.
Love doesn't exist, don't get me wrong.
But what you made me feel,
lived up to the legend of love.
So,
Gone are the days
Gone is the reckless nature,
gone is the careless soul
and gone is the unbridled spirit.
You had me at "Goodbye".
