Love Poem: With You Or Without

With You Or Without

To my grasp, these emotions are lost
I cannot explain why it is I feel this way
All thoughts and words you exhaust
Conscience and logic are absent today
Troublesome questions in my mind criss-cross
Events long past over and over replay

'Why are there no answers?' I ask
But again I meet with deafening silence
So I sought resolution from fire in a glass
Its answers brought no peace in all its violence
As I recall someone said, "This too shall pass."
There is negative comfort in such guidance

Yet peace in my soul I do find, through you!
Joy beyond compare at mere sight
A smile from ear to ear from the thought of you
Laughter to tears of joy I cannot fight
When I imagine you laughing too
How can I not think of you day and night?

"Take your own advice," they suggested,
"Too soon you've become to this girl devout."
How true! My patience you have tested
Time after time I'm left in doubt
Oh how, in you my heart is vested
Soon I feel I will die with you or without
