my unmatched love

love is an overused and time worn concept 
marriage is banal 
yet nothing about your love is threadbare
you are my evermore
you wear me thin but even the thinnest strings of my fate spell out your name
there is no sphere where waking up on your sore bicep takes a backseat in my thoughts 
you are not a part of my anatomy; you are it. 
my heart my soul my mind 
you own rent free space 


you eclipse my ambition 
nothing holds a candle to the love i’ve cultivated for you over these years 


you are a paradigm of the moment where i realise what your love does to me 
you make me a wreck and yet all it takes to fix me is you 
you are the poison and you are the antidote 
you are the totality of my thesis; you are the only thing i understand.
