How could I ever forget why I love you?
When it has never been without presence
It stuck that first fuck and won’t lessen
Not that I’ve tried to shake the devotion
But the rollercoaster emotions
That go hand in hand with loving a man
Demand total and utter blood soaking
So my heart is dribbling, little doodles I’m scribbling
Hoping one is good enough to share
But they are never up to par,
They don’t get very far
Kept between pen tip and bra
Like, rattling between teeth, I keep
The deep truth of how I feel
Because I swear I’ve read you poems before
So I’m sure you know my internal
But, I forget that I forget
So not even outward expressions of love are eternal
I thought I’d reached the pinnacle
That sharp needle poking summit
But I did lose myself in this a bit, the love stuff
Find endless waters too Pell-Mell, try quit
Before I commit cos that match was lit
Until it met finger tip
And I didn’t know shit about burns
Still, when I’m alone, and thus cold
All it is, is your fire I try earn
I’m spending flickers every time we bicker
Take it too far and much sicker
Attempt to be quicker than the lash of your smarts
And try not puddle in the soft mush of my heart
Did I say, I honestly worship the ballast you walk on?
I dunno why I don’t really tell it
But it’s not an easy thing to admit
When it’s actually something you mean
And you’re melted
And I mean, you mean, you really mean
Everything
I don’t see colours or shapes or letters
The same
As I did before you transformed them
Into the new progression
Green is blue and blue is black
Round is square and square’s all slack
Alphabet’s gone off her nut
Reading upside down and back to front
My eyes are crossed and my tongue’s all twiddled
Why am I always left, or right, not middle?
Did I mention my extolment
For the rhythm you breathe?
Did I ever explain that if you were to leave, I would
