I Loved You

I loved you with all I could muster. I loved you with every sinuous strand Every cell, every heartbeat. I loved you with all that I am. I loved you to the point of sacrifice: Prepared to give you all I have. A Ferris wheel of fortitude Spinning, turning into a crazy world, Always moving, never still, manic In its pursuit of passionate folly. Then melancholy, moody, yet Mellifluous in melody, a merging Of hearts: sometimes healing, Often destructive as it wove its Catastrophic path. In the aftermath I land, washed up on the beach, Picking up the pieces like driftwood Carried by the tide. I loved you.
