I wrote this poem for a book of poetry I made for my girlfriend.
I love you.
Those are the words that open my thoughts, my heart, and my soul.
Those are the words that fill my head, this book, and the hole
That continued to grow with every mistake I made, every person that I lost
Left me with a debt that my mind could not pay, so my heart had to pay the cost.
Those are the words that are my gift, my nepenthe, and my pain.
Those are the words that make me happy, make me crazy, and make me sane.
I love you.
Those are the words that open my thoughts to happiness and sorrow.
The joy of being with you today and fear of losing you tomorrow.
Those are the words that open my heart up to you
To show you how I feel about everything you do.
Those are the words that open my soul and everything inside.
All the feelings that I have and all the pain that I hide.
I love you.
Those are the words that is my gift to you from me
To bring you lots of joy and make you very happy.
Those are the words that are my nepenthe for past memories.
They bring my mind to rest and it slowly starts to ease.
Those are the words that are my pain that slowly eats away
At my mind and soul and makes them start to rot and decay.
I love you.
Those are the words that fill my head with happy thoughts of us.
All the romantic memories and times of lovestruck lust.
Those are the words that fill this book from the start until the end.
It shows in every page, how much I tried to tend.
And those are the words that fill the hole with
I love you.
Those are the words that make me happy deep within my heart.
When you say them to me, my body starts to warm, each and every part.
Those are the words that make me crazy when I know not what to think.
All my thoughts start to spin and my sound mind starts to sink.
Those are the words that make me sane when my thoughts are crystal clear.
Now I know what to say as I whisper in your ear,
"I love you."
