Fight or Love


What's the point?
 
The love is not without its lows
 
Sex an equilibrium after cross words
 
and sleep a refuge there after.
 
So what I ask
 
is the meaning behind us?
 
I have no fight left
 
The shouting a habit.
 
By now I know not a word
 
said by any, including his own lips is heard.
 
What's the point?
 
In fighting for this love.
 
I'll certainly NOT leave
 
and he will NEVER change.
 
What's the point?
 
in loving each other when fighting is against and not for.
 
I want to give up
 
but he means losing a piece of My smile.
 
along with the little girl giddiness he brings to me
 
Losing him means. Never getting the piece of me
 
he has forever.
 
Stuck in its place his laughter along with the way butterflies
 
flutter under his chest when I lay my head there.
 
And the part of him
 
I stole, Will be a permanent longing
 
in a recess only he has dared discover.
 
In the end
 
I stay because
 
we can be each other
,
still saying I love you
 
without sarcasm.
 
Because no fight
 
is worth losing this love.

Puffing Pachyderm

Just lost; occasionally looking for an unclear something or overwhelmed nothing. Mostly distracted trying to chase the wind, an equally impossible task. Never prepared, it slips over and under all about the room never taking shape or forming thought. Scared to move past predictable, dreading the inevitable reoccurrence of the past. Personal torture undefined by tomorrows ideals or today's good fortune. Every nightmare rooted in yesterdays folly. Fear a weight to the heart spawned from multitudes of misinformed decisions. Roaming lost forever.
