Madly in Love

They say when you’re in love,

It hits you like a freight train.

There’s a minimal chance you’ll survive

You’ve made me feel alive

Still I strive to revive

My love and you’ve had me dive

head over heels in love.

You’ve cursed me, you’ve hexed me

My soul is in your grasp, and I don't mind.

No really, Keep it. I’ll collect my dues.

This transaction, taking action

its just a fraction, a distraction

A satisfaction with your reaction

You’re mine and only mine

and don’t you dare forget it.

You are my prized possession

Depression became aggression

This is my confession

Listen at your discretion

This is my expression

A succession

And obsession.

Love, you’ve destroyed me

My compassion is leaving me ashen

Passion is the latest fashion

Pieces of my heart ration

Only to you, darling

I’m in love.

You’re sent from above

Push coming to shove

Heart singing like a dove… Sort of.

My heart is set ablaze

Sending rays of sunshine

I’m stuck in a haze

Trapped in your gaze

Love like a bullet that grazed

It’s one of those days

Where my heartbeat raised

and I’m stuck in a daze

I’m not right in the head

these words that bled

tearing me to shreds

unraveling the thread

with angel wings you spread

Something in my stomach feels like lead

Was it something you said?

Or is it butterflies embed inside

fluttering around instead

I hope you’re not misled

Because  the truth is,

I’d like to sleep in your bed

Before we are dead

so please, go ahead

keep reading on, I don’t mind.

I think you will find I have gone blind

You’ve infiltrated my mind

Every day you remind me

that not everything is unkind

To sit and unwind

Leave behind my fears and find a peace of mind

Which stays undefined

without the presence of my mind

It’s the little things that matter

I may be as mad as a hatter

The constant endless chatter

That doesn’t really matter

When my soul is in tatters

Threatening to shatter.

You’ve cursed me and I love it.
