You are everything
and if our love were a record
there would be scratches and
drawn out silences
and the only audible sound
would be our hearts,
screaming
and clawing
for each other
You are everything
and if our love were the sea
I would surely drown,
although I learned how to swim
you have sent me spinning
through the waves,
I am not sure which way is up
I am not sure if I want to find out
You are everything
and if our love were a storm
it would destroy everything
in it's path
and it would be reckless
and daunting
and real
You are everything
and if our love were a poem
it would have no rhyme
no Shakespearian diction
it would start
and end
with you.
