I Loved You To Death Because I Loved You

I loved you to death, because I loved you. I followed your every waking step and gnawed at your every private thought. I gifted you my silences and then savaged you my words. I suffocated your ears and stifled your eyes. You could not control my jealousies against your wits, because I loved you. And I became vindictive toward you, only because I loved you I was sadistic until you broke and your prayers and pleadings brought you no comfort. I loved you so that no others may and I warped your eye until you could not see a straight thought I persecuted your daily colour with muslin shrouded pall, until I took the rope from about your neck. All because I loved you Rest now and be happy for me that I have found another to cherish. But, this is not farewell, soft skin and delicate mind. I shall return weekly, carrying flowers with kaliedoscope hues. All because I love you
