I am insane, and my memory has been tormenting me, and this is largely based on fragments of memories.
The following is an odd work, an image I don't comprehend.
An I love you, without an intended audience.
Since this came out as a poem, and since it feels pretty,
And since it was based on the sound of the song "I Do", by Yoko Kanno from the Ghost in The Shell SAC Soundtrack...
(BTW look it up and listen to it on Youtube while you read if you want the same feeling!)
I am nuts, again this was not written for ANYONE, I just wanted to write it!
Guys, imagine this is from Togusa to his wife.
Girls, imagine this is from your boyfriend or husband.
When my world fell apart
I came home immediately.
You were there
Waiting
Smiling
And when you saw my face
You became afraid for me.
I told you I was fine
And I lied
And you knew better.
A walk to the kitchen
You poured a drink for me
From the wine you were saving
For our anniversary.
I loved you
Then and now.
Remembering how
You warned me to take small sips
To breathe slow.
You knew me so well that
Without asking about the day
You went about
To make my evening perfect.
You lit the candles for me
Put on your best dress
Burned incense to soothe me
Kissed my forehead
And swore to me all would be well.
We raised our glasses
To our collective future
And
My hands shook
And the glass fell and
You knelt to pick up the pieces.
My breath was gone and
My legs collapsed beneath me and
I knelt down in painful
Penitent
Prayer.
And You knelt there with me.
Amidst the glass.
I love you.
And please review, I want input on my insanity.
