So Close, Yet so Apart

Today another day passed us by
And I felt so very close to you
Yet there was still a distance
Between us
We laughed together
And even touched
So close
Yet so apart
Causing me such inner agony
And pain . . .
Will your heart ever soften?
And will your heart ever open to me?
Will I ever feel your love?
Being a simple man
My answer is also simple
I believe that in time
We will come together
And we will be close
You loving me
As much as I love you
So close
And never to be apart
Ever again.

Sleeping on the Floor

Last night you couldn't sleep
So off to the sofa you went
To sleep alone
Leaving me alone
With my insecurities
But soon I was at your side
To sleep on the floor
Beside you
A token not of insecurity
But of my love
And my devotion
To you
And for
You

In For The Long Haul

Some days are good
While others are not
But I'm hanging in there
In for the long haul
Having faith
That your heart
Will soften
And that with time
All of our days
Will be good.

Caught Countng

You caught me counting your pills
Which made you quite mad
But you just don't seem to know
That your pill Paxil is bad.
For one, it's addictive
And can ruin your mind
Worse than heroin or cocaine
A drug thats not very kind.
And as a drug it is quite sneaky
Because its evil takes years
Doing it's damage
Before you have any fears.
First go your feelings
As they become blunted
Limited pleasure and pain
As your emotions become stunted
Then come the tremors
Along with the twitches
Then throw in some dry skin
With rashes and itches.
Do I need to add more?
For surely I can
There's the loss of libido
And you no longer need man.
Now we can also consider
The nasty mood swings
When you get really hurtful
With stinging word zings.
And what of your memory
When at times it seems lost?
At every corner Paxil will rob you
Whatever the cost.
Then there's the hair loss
And possible tumorous tissues
Damage to brain cells
And other serious issues.
So seeing such symptoms
I became quite concerned
Fearing your Paxil
Was leaving you injured and burned.
So I began counting your pills
To see how much you are taking.
Worrying like all hell
That poor health you were making.
And in the process of counting
You caught me red-handed
So now you are mad
And I feel all abandoned.
But I counted your pills
Out of concern and of love.
I swear this is true
Just ask the Man up above.
I didn't do it for spite
Nor to manipulate
And I most surely didn't do it
To garner your hate.
I simply was counting your pills
Because I love you
And because I want you healthy and well
Thats all I wanted to do.
So please don't be mad
And please don't be sad
I was pill counting for you and good reason
And that isn't bad.
I love you.

The Perils of Paxil

I could handle having a rival of real flesh and blood, easily understanding how you could choose another Over me. I am surely no prize, mediocre at best. In fact, today you put it well when you called me weird. And of course tonight your silence spoke volumes when you rolled over and went to sleep without even giving me a courtesy I love you . . .
I can understand you feeling the way that you do and how you would want to be free of me. Like I said, I am surely no prize. But I do love you. And I could understand you loving someone else. A flesh and blood rival I could understand, but having a rival of the pharmaceutical kind is something I can't understand and it drives me out of my mind! You love your Paxil more than you love me or anything else, or so it at times seems. And sadly, you can't or don't choose to see it. Your emotions are blunted so that you don't experience pleasure or pain. Nor do you experience acute sadness or happiness. At least that is the way I see it. The Paxil has you stuck in the middle, leaving you alone with most everyone outside of your Paxilized world which allows you to say what on your mind without a care of how others might feel about what you want to say. It seems that your little daily pill allows you to be mean and unfeeling. The other aspects of Paxil that I see scare me too. Your restlessness at night when you twitch and jerk violently without knowing it. And you wonder why you are so tired during the day. Then, lets consider how your Paxil impacts menopause . . . If you would take the time to read some of the things that I have read. If you weren't afraid to burst your Paxil bubble, you findout how it robs your body of estrogen and in turn can accelerate the chances of osteoporosis. Not to mention the fact that your nightly twitching and tremors which have been jump-started by your Paxil are a precursor to Parkinson's disease. Now that is something you can look forward to! Let see, what else is there? Hmmm . . . Oh, yes, there is the fact that the typical SSRI doubles your risk of breast cancer and that with Paxil the risk is seven times greater. Add to that that memory loss over the long haul and hair loss and even skin disorders come with the years of addiction. And did I mention the mood swings? You might not notice it, but I do. You can go from sweet to nasty mean in a heartbeat. Yes, maybe that is also your menopause and PMS, but the studies show that Paxil also contributes to moodiness. But I forgot, you don't have time to read and you don't want to hear anything bad about your dear Paxil. And did I mentiuon Brain Fry? Over time your brain will start to malfunction as the nuerons start to shut down because it no longer works properly because the reuptake of the serotonin has been inhibited for so many years. Need I go on? I hope that I don't sound angry, because I'm not. But I am worried. Worried for you and for us . . . However, let it be known that I will always love you and will be here for you in sickness or health and when your Paxil turns on you, I will be here to hold you and love you. - Sorry that my blogging tonight has not been poetic. I'm just not in the poetic mood tonight. I'm feeling hurt and alone as you lay sleeping in our bed with your lover, my rival, Paxil.

Sunday to Sunday

From Sunday to Sunday
And all the days in between
Each day has been great
For me thats how it seems.
I feel we're growing closer
And though it may sound corny
(Maybe even a little duddy)
It seems like the love is growing
When you call me your buddy.
I so want to be yours
Being your buddy and friend
And someday your lover
So to you this message I send . . .
Very plain and simple
I love you with all my heart
It has always been so
Right from the start.

Legalities and Love #7

You know, I would do anything for you . . .
I would die for you and I would kill for you.
But what I would rather do is live for you
And for your love.
I love you so much.
I always have . . .
It is such ashame that it has taken so long
For me to show you that I love you.
But I vow here and now
That I will always be here or wherever
For you and do anything for you.
Anything . . .
Because you are my everything
And my heart and mind
Will never change.
This I promise to you.
Call it what you may . . .
I call it legalities and love #7.

Falling In Love Again

I have always been in love with you
But until recently have not done a very good job
In showing you that I love you . . .
Oh, how stupid and ignorant I was
And have been
And such a fool!
Upon nearly losing you
I came to my senses
But during that process
You fell out of love with me
Yet stayed with me . . .
Why? I don't know?
But you did stay
Maybe out of duty
Or maybe even pity for me
But stay you did
And I have tried my best
To win your trust and your love
Wanting to be not just your lover
But also your friend
And as time has passed
I believe that something is happening
Between us
Something good
And something wonderful
In fact, a miracle
As it seems that you
Are falling in love again with me
Or so it seems . . .
I pray it is so
Because I have always been in love
With you.

Prayers Are Answered

I have always prayed to God
But never so fervently
As in the past many days and months
And never so often have I prayed
Pleading for divine help and intervention
To heal broken hearts
And bring us together once again
Rebuilding and rekindling our love
As we come together as one
Once again
And in the past many days and months
I have seen God's hand
As prayers have been answered.
