You fell asleep and a monster crawled from out of my head and found its way under my bed

Ummmm hi" and my broken heart twitches in an attempt to start beating again

I love a man who tickles me awake with reality, and kisses me goodnight with fictionBraids my hair with simplicity to compliment my contradiction And calms the waging wars inside with a simple boyish lookFor he is as much a mystery as he is an open book When I am at my worst, I am beautiful by his sideHe draws me in yet keeps me free, the moon to my tideHe relishes my quirks and antics just as much I love to keep him franticAnd if I ever fall, he doesn__ catch me right awayBecause he knows I__l glideAnd even more so, knows how much I enjoy the ride_With the strength I lack, he holds my insecurity safe in-between his fingersAnd if there is ever a doubt while I am out running aboutHis steady grip lingersHe drives me crazy just as much as he keeps me saneAnd has the wisdom to keep me wild knowing I__l die if ever tameSo when I am far, he frets not, because he knows he__ my favorite destination If ever I am down, he joins me on the ground and points out my favorite constellationsHe catches my sighs and lackluster repliesWith ageless humor and tenacity I draw blanks at his capacity And challenge his audacity But He wins because despite my stubbornness he is persistentYet forever fails because he belongs to nonexistent

I'm on my way...don't know where to, but my road is build with metaphors and nonsense

I see your face, your smile and poetry comes flooding out of a heart that can't love you anymore...
