Please, no one get excited, this is no way a reflection on me.  Just writing...

Crazy Love (3/4/03)
I have bled scarlet words
Of woe
For you

I have swallowed back
Boulder sized rocks of humiliation
For you

I have beat fist against chest
Trying to start a dying heart
Because of you

I have self-mutilated
My now weeping soul
Because of you

I have broken every nail
Trying to scratch all traces of you
From my skin
To rid myself of you

And now, I hand you my
Heart, soul, and sanity
You own them all….
Now love me

You must have been looking through your crystal ball at my life. What was the line? "Strumming my life with her fingers, telling my life with her words"??
A very moving write. I highly suggest you consider it for the book.
Congrats

This is so so brilliant. When you fall in love this is what happens it takes over everything which is why it hurts so much when that love fades away.
