you had better stop me
while you still can
before this flame
burns down the world
making everything
irrelevant
to how i feel
about you

such is the monster
you have ignited
from the depths
inside me

i would give you
the very air
that i breath
to lessen just
one moment of
the suffering
which stifles and
chokes you

such is the unity
of this blindess
you have created
around me

this could never be
standard issue love
that everyone
finds to be enough
while you write
the growing legacy
of my soul
with each smile

such is the passion
you brought forth
from the cellars
within me
