"And I Love You"

I knew you were different because you were not real
But the Timeless Magnetic Pull would negotiate no deal
It insisted, I complied
Was born while simultaneously died
Serene yet tragic, so I cried
Hollow while overflowing inside
And I love you. 

With my angry, calm demeanor, I smiled at you through my tears
Please just stay on the phone with me a few more minutes, maybe years
A rush of peace, a vicious fright
Destroy then mend our hearts tonight
Though blind, a breathtaking sight
Our darkest fears all brought to light
And I love you. 

And I’ll be your partner now, until by you I have been killed
If you had not the strength to tear me down, I wouldn’t care to build
Never felt better, never worse
I need your scent, I need a hearse
A blank, profound, unwritten verse
Can’t say enough, so I’ll be terse
And I love you.
