Deadly Dearest

Love,
Into thick, boiling waters,
Oppressed to fill empty spaces,
Is this anger? Affection? Worship?
Or simple deflection?

Love,
Could it be any worse?
Voices horse,
After this screaming, bawling, yelling,
At you, at you, falling.

Love,
Lost in translation,
Polar ends, different worlds,
Now I’m trembling, Shaking, Quaking.
I am breaking, breaking, breaking.

Deadly,
Is the voice of your love,
Resonating in harmony,
So brassy, brassy, and bossy
But not yet sweet music,

Deadly,
Marooned on mountains and apart,
Yet still your commands are sunk deep within,
You still control, conducting, and commanding,
Sugar, sugar, sugar, no longer sweet,

Deadly,
Can’t you see your choking?
Draining so much life,
Taking the most important, influential, and illustrious
Things in my life, my life, my life, all mine.
