I Love You Enough To Fix You
I love you.
Take my words,
And place them in your heart,
Like the batteries to an alarm clock,
setting off your world at the right time.
Let me help you,
Let me open up that door,
Get you that coffee at Starbucks.
Take a look.
I'm not doing anything,
You wouldn't do for me,
Right?
Sitting down on summer nights,
Bundled up for Winter's sights,
Spread eagle on the floor,
Light flitting from around the edge,
An opening door.
I love you enough to fix you,
Don't turn away from me.
Acceptance from the many,
Acceptance isn't just a game.
To out in the streets,
Not normal,
Not sweet,
Broken golf club,
half-gone cigarette,
Sweetly talking,
Like you know what's best.
Speak softly.
Whisper loud.
Children should not meet the dying breath of your world.
When you go with a bang,
I'll be at the side of the bridge,
Laughing,
As you drop.
It was your own fault.
I loved you enough to fix you,
Why wouldn't you let me fix you?
You were my Ibis,
My exotic bird,
Dying with a croak,
Disheveled in my driveway.
Was being me so bad?

- Title: I Love You Enough To Fix You
- Artist: Professor_Posh
- Description: This poem was written back in September, soon after the start of entering a new school. In LA class, we had been studying "The Scarlet Ibis." Depressed from my life and school overload, I penned this poem. For some reason, it was a fabulous release to read, helping me calm down whenever I felt worst. Friends, family, and members on various journals of mine seem to react positively to this piece, and so I pass it on to you. Without further ado: I Love You Enough To Fix You.

- This poem kind of confused me. At first it seemed like a romance and then it just suddenly started being about murder rather than love at all. It might be better with a bit more of a transition.
