When I look at you
It’s just as I feared
Eros didn’t use an arrow
He used a whole damn spear
*
So now I’m stuck to you.
Like a fly in a trap of glue.
Crushed by my love,
Like a beetle under a shoe.
*
Like I am dry drowning,
Your kisses leave me gasping
The feel of your sweet touch
leaves me grasping
*
I am lost in your eyes.
Your beautiful eyes of green.
Just the thought of living without you
Feels so obscene
*
The day the Eros shot me.
He gave me such joy
Being with you is so enchanting
There is nothing more that I enjoy

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
