Love
A blinding light
Blocked my sight
A pervasive plight
That invades my life
Then degrades to night
The light is you
In a darkened zoo
Where my hatred grew
Until you shined through
You emanate a warm aura
More fragrant than God’s flora
Teaching more than God’s Torah
So you’re like my god sort of
When I talk to you
I feel love in my heart
So to avoid stalking you
Our ways I do part
I think of you constantly
Like you’re haunting me
Dauntingly
Taunting me
Your face
And smile
Show grace
For miles
So I race
To exile
But your hair shining brown
Like an earthy crown
Rules my town
Pushing me down
Underground
I hear you everyday
I hear everything you say
I hear your beauty
I hear you rebuke me
Like it’s your duty
To cut right through me
I see you everyday
Through the fray
Of swirling grey
In my heart
And my soul
I fall apart
And grow old
I tell myself I’m just waiting
I tell myself I’m still looking
But I’ve been self hating
Ever since you shook me
I look at the night sky
And ask God why
I can’t just fly
Away from this guy
So I just start to die
In this love I’m capsized
Wailing these laugh cries
I can’t love anyone else
So instead I just melt
This is the pain you’ve dealt
By just being yourself
#love
