I am so in love with you ( Not a love song)

by Vikki Owens

I am so in love with you,
your ugly teeth, the broken smile,
I touch the backs of your hands with
their cigarette burns and puckered flesh,
they rise to kiss my fingertips.
I love your eyes and the way
they distort this image
to add the pounds to your hips and ass....
I love the way your back bends
to meet the burden of your disease...
to carry it willingly...
I love the suicide wrists and
the bleeding heart
the barren womb
and vicious tongue
the delusions suit you...
and all the various trembles
and malnourishments make me love you even more.
