Sincerely thanks
For everything
This optimal
Version of me
Is possible
Because of you
That being said
Sadly things die
Others are born
Now I can say
The queen is dead
Long live the queen

I was broken when you found me
A lost ship with a shattered keel
You showed up late to our first date
I didn’t know just how I would feel
You know how long it’s taken me
To put what we have into verse
I hate love poems and cliches
When I can just plainly converse
There is something messing me up
Something I'm willing to confess
Loving you scares me to death
Because it’s so easy, I guess

Who the hell ever thought I’d see the apex
Looking back on the detritus of a climb
Surveying the summit of my ascension
I let myself feel just a ripple of pride
It took way more crutches, crawling, and clutching
Than I imagined at my journey's nadir
I feel the clean air for a moment longer
I guess it’s time to go find my new mountain

It was a no-lose kind of night
Until I put an L in the win column
Life is a never-ending equation
When you are the unsolvable problem

You added another item to your list
Of things to hold back the voices
Something to occupy your mind
While you drown out nasty noises
It’s sporting to watch in a sick way
Like waiting for a dam to burst
Will you take up quidditch next or
Reach for a bottle to slake your thirst
I’m sorry but your battle is being lost
And I have a nasty habit of truth telling
One day you’ll run out of hobbies
Because your mind won’t quit rebelling

It occurred to me
Am I evil or just fun?
Then the cops showed

Just another check-in to see how things are
Are you still playing your greatest hits?
Avoiding the mirror again so you don’t see
You found another way to be your worst self
The phone is your only companion and enemy
Giving you the outlet for another devil moment
When you reach out to a supposed lifesaver
That you will inevitably try to drown with you
Round and round goes your never-ending circus
And here I am guardian angel to a clown car
Will you ever take stock of the rubble left behind?
Or do you find solace in the destruction?

A fleeting feeling like a shallow stab
An invasive insight I’m forced to grasp
Because if I miss you I start anew
Facing a nascent nightmare to see through
What if I miss you today and can’t stop
What if this sheer climb has no mountaintop
I missed you today and didn’t dare voice it
Because silence from you would be poison

Breaking just after I had my last break
Taking the chance I was too afraid to take
Embracing another by accepting her embrace
Racing to her arms after refusing the race
Thawing my heart when I doubted the thaw
Dawning on me that I found my new dawn

Welcome to our session dear reader
Your participation makes you my therapist
I will regale you with the tale of a silly man
Who fell in love and now can’t get out
Why have I chosen you to unleash this?
Because everyone else is sick of hearing it
I’ve exhausted all personal means
Of excising burdensome love unrequited
Your credentials are the least of my worries
The love of my life proves challenging
She is an amazing, beautiful, intelligent
Aggravating, over-analyzing, angel of a liar
You are right, those are not all positive attributes
But I learned a thing about loving someone
You focus on the positives and hold on
While accepting the flaws that make her, her
Why am I bothering you if I am so in love?
You see, I am hers but she is not mine
My only claim is making her smile
Which I know were both real and rare
Your professional opinion is to walk away
Alas, that is not remotely possible
I have basked in her glow too long
That I can’t even leave her shadow
What do I want from you and your time?
Just a friendly ear to bend now and again
With this sad story of woe and love
Same time next week will do just fine
