All the women must envy her. <br />Because she is the woman that I truly love. <br />I have surrendered every atom of my being. <br />All my time is hers. <br />She takes away my education, my career, my past <br />My present, my future. <br />She takes away my soul. <br />My liberty, my thoughts <br />My feelings, my rationality <br />She is everything, <br />I mumble before her <br />And I tell everything <br />There are no secrets <br /> <br />There is only beauty, truth, and goodness. <br />She is regal. <br />She takes me whole. <br />She is eating me whole. <br />She will break me, she will kill me. <br />I have nothing left, and she can make me take <br />What belongs to others so I still have something to give her <br />To cater to all her demands <br />Whims <br />Caprices <br /> <br />She takes my books, my rings, my watches, <br />She takes my house, my car, my attaché case <br />She takes my savings, my fortune <br />She takes everything away from me <br />And I cry before her <br />I laugh like crazy <br />With what is happening to me <br />And she does not mind <br />Unmoved, unthinking <br />Unbreakable <br />Undone <br />Un-self <br />Un-real <br />To her real-ness <br />Unbecoming of me <br />She is unbecoming of me to all the other women in my life <br />She is forever <br />Omnipresent, omnivorous, <br />Omnipotent, <br />She is <br />Goddess <br /> <br />All the women say, <br />I am finished <br />And I deserve her <br />And they all wish <br />My eternal damnation <br />My eternal suffering <br />To a hell of perfection <br /> <br />Through her the retaliation is complete <br />The vengeance perfect. <br /> <br />I am helpless <br />She is the sixth woman, <br />The sixth sense <br /> <br />She is poetry and I am her slave.<br /><br />RIC S.
