Love. the Real Thing. For Once and For All.

I
Lay
Here at the bottom of my shower stall
Unable to stand
Because the weight of the situation
hit me so hard in the gut
and I wince from the pain
That radiates from
My heart
And
Shallow breathing
Is
All
I can feel
To know
That I am still alive

Bowing 
My head down to the sorrow
A makeshift prayer for the unbeliver 
 to an imaginary god
Begging for compassion

Such a cruel sense of humor
the universe
has

to
tear me apart in love
then
to sew me back up again



false sense of security
to say that my new life would begin


Will something bring me comfort
And
relief
and just let us be

Tony, my angel.........  you saved me

And 
And images of you
Race through my mind
My eyelids as I gaze
At my heavenly white ceiling
Pleading for just one more shot
To
Love
You
Till the end


I won’t lie, steal or cheat
I’ll save the world, I will do it all
If something out there
Heeds my call

Groping the slippery walls
Just to stand tall
 Nothing has ever
Been done
By watching it fall

Here is where I’ll stay
Living breathing 
Just to love you everyday.
