My Wife

How do I love thee,

I love you as the flower loves the bee that brings forth a new life from its own

I love you like the grass loves the sun rising in the morning to warm it from the nights cold embrace

I love you more each day for the person you are

I love you for all the tortured things in me that are not in you

I love you for your need to make me happy

You are a beautiful soul that embraces those near and comforts them

You have a sense of style, unique and sexy

An alluring beauty that compels me to yearn to know more

When I look into your eyes I see a woman who is unsure of herself yet full of love

I know you love me every day I am with you

I also know that for all our hopes and dreams, yours is a simple one

You want me to be nice to you

So please don’t cry, for I am tortured and evil and cruel

But this is not because of you

Know I love you for you and never want to lose that

So I affirm to you that I will love you and not fault you for my tortured, evil, cruel heart

I will open up and let you in

Smile, you are saving me from myself
