Why Do I Love You
You bring out the best in me
You test me
You protect me
You strangle me
But I like… you and me
Why?
You have taught me to cry in my sleep
Punched laughter in my dreams
Kicked my patience till I scream
You and me… such extremes
Why?
We agree to often disagree
We share to then break free
Toxic silences fill our spaces
One embrace
I’m yours again
Why?
I sometimes feel crippled
Held down… weighted
You are right
But nor am I wrong
Why?
Poison words
Thrown at my face
I listen and swallow
Weep inside my clinical hollow
Why?
I’m tired
Powerless
You exhaust me
And then…
Inject your drug
Why?
Because I love you
