You Made Me A Love Poet

Once, I could write about pain the gut wrenching, eye watering pain that makes you sick to read about but now I can't draw up a single gruesome image

You, with your chipped tooth smile and drum beat laugh you made me drop my word weapons to wonder at the light in your eyes

I couldn't write an inspiring love poem before you ugh, just listen to me now oozing at the way you make me feel like I'm wrapped in a thick down blanket

I was just starting to enjoy the rainclouds which perched over my head when you came in with your sunny day spirit making everyday a beach day

Lonely sobbing into my pillow at night used to be my cardio until you made me so happy I couldn't find my tears or catch my breath, for that matter

I used to soak in the discomfort of chipping my way slowly through conversations always feeling awkward but you've made talking as easy as smiling or as easy as smiling is now

(seriously my face hurts from all this smiling)

The thing about love poems is I never know how to end them because I don't want this to end
