This is the Man I Love
by Erin Jones This here,
this is the man I love.
I cry my eyes out
and,
yes,
this is the man I love.
I say I am happy
as I beg for release of
my misery,
but yes,
this is the man I love.
When I am with him
I am the happiest person on earth,
even better when we're alone,
but when apart I am utterly sad,
but this,
here,
this is the man I love.
As he pisses me off
I'm about to cry,
and yet,
this is the man I love.
I hate him so much
but,
as you know,
this is the man I love.
He doesn't even know
the pain he causes me
yet
this is the man I love.
He laughs and he plays
THIS,
THIS HERE,
this is the man I love.
I look up and see him looking at me,
he smiles and I return it,
and
this is the man I love.
I watch him as he sleeps,
eyes closed,
gorgeous,
this is the man I love.
I fall asleep thinking of him,
dream of him,
wake up to him,
this is the man I love.
This is the man I love. 12/02/2007 Posted on 12/03/2007
