some something sometime by *YouInventedMe:iconYouInventedMe:

don't get me wrong

I am
not
who I say
you are

I am sick
and don't feel the drugs
like I used to

I am older
and sleep in positions
that say
terrible things about me

and I
(no precious light)
I bleed
the same
shade
every spring

just to reap
to lay
to rest
come the summer

but you!

you close
those backlit eyes
upon
first sight
of falling snow

you burn
bright &
sharp
somewhere inside

yes
I have seen you
change your
shape
but not your
size

"I bleed the same shade every spring" is my favourite bit, I likes the flow of this.

Though I enjoyed the poem and the imagery it inspired, I lol'd at the artist's comment. Love does, indeed, suck.

So do we think we need it?

I blame the media. And aliens.

The goldfish in the pond at the city park... I think they are in on it, too.

I'm not ready to hang up love's hat just yet -
but I've got your back with the media & the aliens
..even the goldfish.
