I love you

Blanding near Kettering, Jacksonville FL

Description

I love you like the ocean Deeper than is wide I love you like the fire that burns My heart into the night I love you like the tempest Raging hard against my soul I love you like the storm I no longer control I love you like the rain that’s Flooding the streets inside my heart I love you like the pain of Star-crossed lovers when they part I love you like the wind That has ripped my sails apart I love you like I love you Like it’s written in the stars I love you like the stranger Who will never see your flaws I love you like the wager I must win when all is lost I love you like the knife That cut through bone and sinew I love you like the scab That’s the only proof of wound I love you like the tears Through which I’ve cried myself to sleep I love you like my fears Somewhere hidden deep I keep I love like the consequence I know I must reap I love you like I love you Like no one can but me I love you like the sailor Who left home to tame the seas I love you like the writer Naming things you cannot see I love you like the soldier Bleeding by his flag he stood I love you like the carpenter Carving beauty out of wood I love you like the painter Trying hard to frame the dawn I love you like the sinner Claiming he was but a pawn I love you like the saint Who kept faith when all was gone I love you like I love you Like you never ever saw I love you like the moment which once lived cannot come back I love you like that stolen glimpse that negates all that is lack I love you like the souvenir that’s worth more than its cost I love you like a memory you once thought was lost I love like the failures That haunt me in my dreams I love you like the incompetence In the mirror that i see I love you like the risk that suffocates that which could be I love like I love you Despite all that is me — C.
