I Simply Love

You've changed me darling
in ways I cannot say
You've hurt me woman
so bad I had to pray

Each day seemed a ripple
in the sea of time
Each perfect moment
starving for a rhyme

I've been lost in you
longer than I can care
Lost beyond a doubt
in the spaces of your stare

It chills me darling
like nothing I've ever known
It takes me lower
higher, than birds have ever flown

I cease to be as I was
I feel no longer as before
I rarely seem to live
an existence I abhor

I am no man
no poet
I am no lover
no man

I simply love
