I love you, but
I won't set myself up for another 'catch twenty-two'
a life of sleepless nights, thinking only of you,

and me,

and us,

you'll never stop invading my poems,
killing me better,
I'll wait for us to fail,
see us in every elderly couples' smiles,
hear your voice in every break of silence,
and end up outside your window,
singing songs that burn with you in my heart,

not to mention the 'his and hers' tattoos,
that would make every following relationship
feel like infidelity,
        I want to surrender,
                             I just can't
...
                                       I apologize.

you play long enough in hell
it becomes your paradise

why be afraid of the fall?
falling in love is the deepest fall, dear sir
but because we are human
we thrive upon such bliss
without it…I’m afraid we are
but hollowed body
take the risk it’s for your own good
trust her…with all your heart
for her heart is the mirror of yours…smile please
