How can I bring myself to say ‘I love you’?
when all I see is a deep ocean of doubt?
How am I to tell you, that my knowledge of love
isn’t one of two lovers cuddling under the moonlight,
lying in the green canvas as our sensational touch splinters the dawn of day?
How do I say the 143 when I’ve always known one of betrayal,
pain being the impending trial?
How do I say to you, I’m in love with you yet I’ve encased my heart with the Antonine wall?
Denial’s the concierge to my heart’s doors,
I’m just afraid to let the walls free fall, lose my only atonement of protection for my frail heart,
But for our love’s sake I’ll let loose these walls, let them crumble,
let them crush and burn into dust, as your love melts these
barricade into wishful thinking,
As all my fears wear out and disappear, your love invades the unrivaled sparks of my heart,
Like deep roots of the white oak, your love has taken a toil over me
You have redefined my heart’s folly norm of what love is,
Our love is more profound than the depths of the ocean,
it drives men out of their *****,
pirates would trade pearls for what we have,
Our love has conquered the fearsome of storms,
it’s like a phantom ship that captains relish,
every adventurer wishes to board, that is our love.
You’ve changed my whole perspective of love, and now I can confidently say,
I LOVE YOU.
