Love Poem: Sweet

Sweet

You say I'm sweet
but 
it's you who tames 
the Wild Beast.

It's no lie
until I met you 
I had so much 
rage deep inside,
so much anger 
I couldn't hide.

Then you came along
filled my lungs 
like a beautiful song,
turned something weak 
into something strong,
allayed my fears,
dried my tears.

You chased away the rain 
and suddenly all my
 efforts ceased to feel like 
they were allin vain.

Basically what I'm 
trying to explain is
that having you around
made me less insane.

You who are 
the beauty to my beast
the flour to my yeast
the day to my night
the savior to my plight
the right to my wrong
the sing to my song.

Now, I think you can see 
where this is going
maybe next time you say 
"you're so sweet"
you'll understand why
I sigh and smile 
and shake my head
then we won't have 
to go through this 
all over again.
