After hours of trying <br />I've decided to quit. <br />I give up, that's it; <br />I'm no good <br />at writing love letters. <br />They are awkward and bumbling <br />and I find myself stumbling <br />to do you justice with all the right words. <br />They are flowery, <br />powdery, <br />full of fluff <br />and the stuff <br />to make boys like you giggle <br />and wriggle with discomfort <br />at the emotions that come forth. <br />It all just seems silly to me. <br />I won't say that I'll love you forever <br />because forever could end over night; <br />and that wouldn't last very long. <br />What I'd say is I'll love you with each breath that passes <br />through these lungs that I've ravaged <br />because I've smoked far too much and too long. <br />I wouldn't say that I won't share my bed <br />with anyone other than you. <br />You're a sheet hoarder <br />and my cats are feet warmers <br />and they don't snore as loud as you do. <br />What I'd say is that you're magnetic. <br />So, despite all the snoring, <br />I'm stuck; <br />other men simply just bore me <br />and besides <br />you keep me warm and comfy enough. <br />I won't say that if you left I would die. <br />Biologically, I don't think that's true. <br />I think my crazy would kick in <br />keep my ticker tickin' <br />and then <br />there's the fact that eventually I'd find you. <br />I wouldn't tell you we'll never be apart <br />because we're apart every day as it is. <br />We live separate lives <br />that have somehow collided <br />and you're cute enough that I stay occupied. <br />What I'd say is I can't wait <br />to wake up to your face <br />and peel my drool covered cheek <br />from your chest everyday. <br /> <br />Well I can't do much better <br />this is the best that you'll get; <br />so much for a sappy love letter.<br /><br />Violet Winters<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-letter-53/
