I got so much love in me it hurts

my belly's full to burst

I gorged myself upon your beauty

I flew so high upon your sighs

Your touch can turn me into stone

or set my heart afire

or make the air crackle

my hair stand on end

lightning strike me dead


It's so hard to change

It's so hard to stay the same

It's so hard to love without

love sweeping me away

It's hard to dip your toes in

and not dive right in

It's hard not to explode


I'm sorry

I'm sorry I explode

I'm sorry I say I love you so quick and so often

I'm sorry I mean it with all my being

I'm sorry I can't stop thinking about you

I'm sorry I go on and on and write poems about you

I'm sorry I can't breathe sometimes when I think about losing you

I'm sorry that I can't just love like love is nothing


Cuz love is everything!

And without it I am nothing

Without love I die a million deaths


I'm sorry I don't know how to sleep alone

Do you see the mountains I make of my sheets

Kicking my feet in my sleep?

I'm a torment

A torrent of heavenstream

raining down and it hurts

cuz all of it's love and all of it's me

and all of it

ALL OF IT

is for you.


I don't want any for myself

I want to spoon feed every drop of this love to you

scratch that

I want to chew it for you and kiss it into you

scratch that

I want to put it into you with all my being

All of this love

I don't know what else to do with it


I might just explode

I might sing a million songs

Write a million poems

Live a million lifes

Die a million deaths

and still have too much love in my heart that I explode in a mad burst of color that paints the whole world the color of love


And what color is that?

I think it's orange


I need you, Love

I don't want to steal your love

I want to give you mine

scratch that

I need to give you mine
