Love in Excess

Castle rock built, strong with desire
blasting my words like
ashes on fire.
Floating and sailing
on an unseen breeze,
trapped in the heat
of a life long disease.

Aching inside
the husk of my heart,
making a dauntless plea
from the start.
For my future
has gone
with an unnoticed force,
from within
the world's psyche
and setting it's course
on it's own faulty whim
with character flaws,
as we skim the best qualities
finding no cause.

For we sell them quite cheap
to those who will buy,
our sweet talking words
and a life-long supply
of \"I love you's\" and kisses
and moments between
as my tongue on your lips
finds a lie, yet unseen.

And I turn to my future
instead of my past
and I hurry along
as I crash through the glass
that held me,
as you did,
entrapped in this tomb
as I fluff up the pillows
and exit the room,
and I turn out the light
that was given to me
a long time ago
as I set out
to be.

And I'll never taste love
the way that it tasted
and none of the days or the love
will be wasted.
For I know it was true
that first moment you touched,
and you found me to be
just a little too much

of a good thing.
