"I'm sure you are, love." I say,
But my words are misconstrued,
For what I was really saying was,
"I'm sure you are love"
because by god if you aren't the loveliest being I've ever encountered during my journey on this planet, then I don’t believe there is --
-- one more time I will speak these words hoping you'll catch sight of my secret --
-- wish, I wish you would say my name and pull me --
-- in your arms is the only place I want to --
-- exist next to you would be the world's most cherished treasure...but I am no pillager and you are by no means gold...

-- <<<means the word that would've ended that sentence is being used simultaneously to begin the next sentence. This was my first attempt at a slam poetry style.
