Burning Love

I fell in love with Mary senior year in high school- and we have been going steady ever since.

She has never let me down but she sure is an expense.  I lose all of my sense with her, I lose all of my cents with her, yet I still must repent. She takes, she takes, she takes, and yet I still have to take a hit.

Mary,

When you are not around, I seek to find you. I find someone who has taken you and held you hostage and I pay a great bargain for you. Then I sit. Sit and stare at you, until I’m ready to use you; to completely abuse you. And you abuse me too! I can’t live without you. Knowing you will never leave my side is sweet torture. When I have you, I know you will soon run out. When you disappear, I am disconnected; I am free. Yet, I am longing. Aware that you are near, perhaps nearer than I believe.

I fill my time and try not to think of you. But, when the sun dips and evening is upon me, you knock on the door of my memory, “Remember me?”

I could never forget you, I’m so happy I met you. I just wish sometimes you would leave me; leave me be. You have entered and changed my biology. You are part of me.

But oh! When I use you, I let loose. You leave me no choice, I cannot choose. Every battle I lose, with you. With you I am lighter, on fire.  We click. You flick my Bic. You make me sick. Then again, you’re my Penicillin. Higher than the ceiling in a convertible, I float over our relationship, and we have achieved squad goals!

Some don’t understand why I continue to see you. It’s because I need you! With my eyes so low, how do you always come into view? When I am so lost, how is it I always find you? In the darkness, how do you do what you do?

Stay crystallized Mary, and never leave me. Brush your red hairs and kick it with your beautiful buds

I’ll always come back to pick you.
