if love were rational
i would never speak to you again …

“i don’t want u to change,
i just want u to make the effort”
[to change]

what!
for fuck’s sake ..

can u not see the idiotic 'logic'
in ur demented statement?
the word 'exasperating'
was made for u,
add it to ur lexicon.

if elegance, style
and beauty were necessary
to ignite love
then it would be a very
long and cold winter.

if love were dependent on
kindness and consideration
ur single status would be permanent!

if love required reciprocation
u would be invisible in a crowd.

if dependability were essential for love
u would be feeding through a proboscis.

i could go on but my exasperation
subsides and
my heart softens
at the mere thought of you;

i remain struck,
mesmerised,
completely enthralled.

i want only
you
and i thank the stars and sky
for delivering you
to me
as you are [u maniac].
