I Love You Like Death

I am the perfect mix of normal as normal
can be; as normal being; weird, as weird is normal;
but not so weird, as to be so weird it’s not normal,
I am of the present and am of the shadows
I shadow the present as it presents shadows,
that harrow the past – gifting me with today;
I am only as sane as you on your insanest days,
the rest is a mock rehearsal and I want my moment;
oh lament – you’re insane, maybe I’m sane; baby.
oh lover, dear, hear me say I love you like death.
as life is pitiful, hate filled and judgmental,
so I – I…I love you like death;
so pure, silent and serene.
