ONE FOR ME

In my entire life

I never had the likes of you

Never had cause to be jealous

Not a thing I couldn't lose

When the going got tough

I was glad to walk away

Never had the kind of love

Where I'd beg for it to stay

But what we have

Now

I wouldn't dare to live without

Though it gives me cause to worry

And it gives me cause to doubt

Not because you give me reason

But because my cause is you

I'd lie for it

I'd kill for it

I'd die for it

For you

When I look into the mirror

I see the difference I've found

All my constants now are changing

Turns my consonants to sound

Fills my heart with verbiage

Oh, this poetry of two

Not a thing I wouldn't plunder

Just to offer it to you

Yet now I find this new emotive

Swimming in this foreign sea

I'm possessive, I'm compulsive

With this new found currency

Not a thing I do is selfish

Just the thought of that confounds

I'd be derelict in my duty

If I ever let you down

That's what's strange

- I must protect you

I feel that urge

Down deep inside

Makes me humble

Yet neurotic

At the thought

Of other guys

I want to squash them

To delete them

To castrate them

One by one

I'm fueled by righteous anger

- They had their chance

- But fucked it up

I just want solace

Quiet moments

As we lie there arm in arm

Feel your warmth

Pressed up against me

As I give in

To all your charms

Watch you stand triumphant

As we conquer every storm

See our future acquiesce

Giving way to shape and form

Nothing more

Could come of this

Than the all we have to give

There's nothing more

I want from this

Than this life

We get to live

I just want to be your only

And I'll give my guarantee

Your the light I hold inside

And the only one for me
