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.
