you don’t need poems
and you don’t need swagger
you have this locked down
why do you even bother
to
entertain the notion that
someone
could mean more to me
than you
it makes me wonder
if
this love is one sided
because
you ask me to jump
and i’m free falling
i love you so hard
and i’m still waiting
but
when you say my name
my heart responds
and
when you say i love you
i put faith upon it
because
there’s no doubt
stronger than this pull
and there’s no mistake
that can’t be cleared
because
no one else
could ever compare
you
get my humor
keep me laughing
you
keep my secrets
forgive what i’m lacking
you
push me to be more
you’re my rock
a safe landing
so never question
this….
i have loved
only you
this strong…this true
because no one else
no matter who
will ever do.

give me comfort
i beg of thee
bible or bottle
something…
please….
i need to be numb
or on my knees
i’m lost
and pleading.
take this from me
drown this dream
give me peace
