Insanity: The Poem II

And I’m going to suffer for as long as it takes
You can be sure that I’ll exceed the stakes
Find you, your soul, and make you see
That all that you are belongs with me
I’ll cry, beg, lie if need be
Scream, shout and I know that eventually
You will shiver, look beside you and discover me
For that is where I will always be
At any moment you feel bound and need setting free.

Insanity: The Poem

It's never my wish to curve your heart out,
And I'm just discovering that I can't do without,
That whisper of laughter that leaves your mouth,
Or those eyes you give me that send mine south,
Or your scraggly hair that tickles my fingers,
Or that heart, frustrating to any digger.
I never mean to crush your dreams,
Send you mad with waning screams,
But time will clear your blurry mind
And you will be repaid in kind
With love that seethes mad and free
From the heart of someone other than me
