In love
With all
The simple ways you keep me
And not
Because
Of the myriad ways you deceive them
And tell them we are just friends
I do not think a lot
About growing up
I know
Deep down
Under your facade
You spin the world to your liking
I remember
My shock
When I realized
It was all by your design
I do not feel so hot
When I am throwing up
Maybe my liver will persevere
Through centuries
Without any fear
But I am not going to stop
As long as you show up
Take me by my heart
And do with me what you will
Start an emotional war
For a sadistic thrill
As we leave together
