Symbiosis.
-----------

Who are you?
Entering my life, unexpected?
Who are you, who claims
To love, though you scarcely know
Who I am?

I am me, and I am trying to love.
I am me, who love destroyed, who you say you adore
Though you’ve barely scratched my surface.

I tell you pieces of the puzzle of my soul
hoping you will piece me together.
I lie that I dream of you,
But all dreams are a lie-
I have no expectations. None at all.

So come be my counterdrug
to the poison of life.
Come be the medicine for my soul.
I love you, and I need you, my sweetheart, my pill-
You serve great use, and I love it.

And you love me, and all my illusions
My medicine smiles, my existence-
Together, symbiosis, we are breathing, live parasites,
Working together

In vain. I am scarcely on this earth,
and you are scarcely in my heart
And im sorry, but im dying
Though I pray you won’t find out.

Hard hitting.
I guess that type of relationship does exist.
Kind of sad.

JL

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.
Maranatha!

The absolute hopelessness is sad beyond measure.
