Cheers to Love (summer 2007)

you got into me like a staff
tripled in size
and took over my heart
at least almost all of it
my shirts bulged out six inches,
even further than my pants,
whenever we were close,

it was you trying to touch yourself
through my rubber skin,
I complied because

stretching feels good inside

leaving was inevitable
as your yawns started to grow
meteor showers burned my eyes
so many crashes, so much fire,
you took your tumor from my chest
and put it in your sterile pocket
knowing it would die
because you didn’t care anymore

but you left a little bit of my heart,
enough for it to come back again
and take me over once more
(oh and the second time was so much harder)

I took as much from you as you did from me,
and now my heart’s bigger than my head,
you know it's a little weird but I kind of like it,
cause when I kiss your memory,
I can feel pain in my knees

I can think of better ways to end stories,
but this way I’ll keep writing them,
you didn’t stop me from loving you,
or anyone again,
I will outlive you, at least in my temporary sadness,
it’s cold, but only temporarily

yippee for me, nuts to you, cheers to love,
cheers to love, cheers to love, cheers to love
