I Want You To Know
I'm to numb to think..
Numb to think about you..
My body is not with me..
It wants to stay away from you..
Breathless at each word..
Takes me a thousand lives..
to let you know,that..
"I love you"
It now takes me longer than usual..
takes me minutes to blink..
to have a flash of you..
My fingers are senseless..
Wanting me to chop them..
Failing to remember a touch of you..
I now am crippled..
Too stubborn for a chair..
barely able to walk towards you..
A knife on my throat
ready to slide..
Lips are sealed..
tongue is tied..
I want you to know..
Love is just a camouflage..
Certainly not a lie..
