I am a man of logic. I always have been. Equations and formulas and problem solving have always been my greatest strengths. I love myself for this.

I should hate you. Yet no matter how hard my brain begs, i will always adore you.

You are the bane of my existance. I hate the way i love you.

There's something that you need to know
It feels so wrong when you leave me alone
I can't deny that to you I belong
And I can admit you're the queen of my home

I Love with thy Lord from above
Not to a paper signed without Love
What difference does it make ?
When from a priest, just a permission we take

I Love you now with no conditions
With no limits, excuses or reasons
I am hopefully devoted to you
Not them, not her, nothing but only to you.

Thick skin falls in pieces
To reveal a molten liquid center
A beauty never gazed upon by another
A glow of heat and pain and ...love
Hidden from prying eyes
Kept safe from strangers and "loved ones" alike
Permanent fists grip tightly
As the center boils hot upon its release
And a trickle becomes a flood
In the right hands...

In the right heart
The stiff grip loosens
And new skin, soft and supple
Replaces the old
Stronger than one could have imagined
Sweeter than one could hope
A butterfly against the odds
And a struggle ends in .....**love
