In My Own Way

How many times have you heard someone say You take my breath away? I would never recite such a cliche Lacking in rhythm and rhyme And is hardly sublime No, you are worthy of greater for sure You, the only one I adore Deserve words of beauty pure and raw Neither would I give you anything poor Wanting in elegance and so much more I promise to pledge a greater array Of a beautiful phrase not dull or grey And you will exclaim, tell me again Hence, I shall convey in my own way Powerfully elegantly I will say My Breathe You Take Away.
