It is a Love Poem I Swear

I am not a love poet

Do not expect something like that from me
Don't sit on the edge of your couch waiting for me to burst into poetic verse
Trying desperately to put together some sickening rhyme comparing you to the universe

     It would be something more like a hearse.

It is more realistic,
    and it sounds prettier

Sometimes people get mixed up and think that this means that I do not love you
That is just not true.

My feelings for you are all there, burning in the passionate lisp of a kid mixed up in a crowded place mistaking a girl like you with another face,

But it is always beautiful
because when it comes to love I see you


                And vomit a little bit.

Only because I am nervous and that is what you do to me.
Don't mistake the fact that there are hundreds of poems hidden all around my room talking about my last girlfriend and how we were meant for each other and how I really loved her

...Because I didn't
I love you, and I will do whatever it takes to prove it to you.

Just not write a love poem for you

  I don't do that.

However ask me something else I know that I would do.
I love you and I would miss you if you walked away and left me standing here
         Mouth wide open
as though I was about to create something beautiful with my tongue

And define
          your divine presence
like god in the sky

and I have tried
But nothing ever seems to spark for you
So instead I let out a little gasp and let you go with the thought

that I would die for you
                        Kill for you
                                    Let my blood spill for you
and destroy everything that is important to me

just to feel your skin caress mine.

But I will not write a love poem for you
I am not a love poet,
I don't do that anymore
