Love you MADLY

--

“I’d rather be with you than without you,” I scream into his mouth

Yelling my love song louder and louder until his eyes finally bug out

“I love you too,” he stutters but you can barely hear him squeak

Because I’m yammering and stammering about how I love him every day of the week

I hug him tight and hold him close, my arms choking him nice and tight

And he flaps his hands and wiggles his toes, but doesn’t really put up a fight

“You’ll be mine forever,” I smile extra wide with gleaming gums

I kiss him so hard and viciously that I’m sure his face goes numb

Oh, to love a crazy woman who is unpredictable but kind

She loves you so hard with everything she’s got, except of course her mind

But he doesn’t want to leave me, in fact he’s never even tried

He says he just loves me much more quietly and softly than I, his boisterous bride

So I try to whisper that I care for him, but it comes out as a jarring yelp

And even though I accidentally squeeze him harder he never begs for help

Loving me ain’t always easy but he says he’s here for life

“At least things are exciting,” he croaks, “when you have a lunatic for a wife!”

A hand drawn heart with a grainy filter
