KILLME
That song played on my favorite tv show and my eyes glued to the screen because it was your favourite band

I opened this book to write about how crazy that was and saw your name written over and over in your own handwriting. Thought about it.

Flipped though my poems I keep mostly secret and noticed that many, many of them were about you

Your name on my clipboard
Your jokes on my papers
Your words on my screen
Your body on my bed
Your body on my body

You

In my head

In
     My
           Heart

You've consumed my life
                 To lose you
                      Is to lose me


And that's why I'm afraid.

When I grow old and weak of eye
I want you there right by my side.
Your gentle nudge, a comfort then
To see me through, right to the end.
Your fuzzy coat, now grey with age
For me to touch in this final stage.
To know the comfort of your loving heart,
Given to me right from the start.
A more loyal friend I’ve not found yet.
You’re dear and special, my cherished pet.

just another poem
describing my low mood
with an irreverent metaphor
comparing my low mood to
the drastic change of temperature
in summer and winter
