You have become something

I look forward to every day.

Even, a reason to live.



Since you first walked into my life,

At the tender age of 13,

I've been captivated.



I am continuesly captured

by your exquisite beauty

and promises

of a better existence.



You seduced me,

you faceless figure in drooping,

dark robes.

And that lovely scythe?

To die for.



I truly am head over heels;

for I see you everywhere.

On the labelling of an Asparin bottle.

The glint of a pen knife.

A big yellow bus hurtling towards me.

The noose I have yet to make.



The thought of talking to you is nerve wracking.

Rejection,

failure,

I fear would break me.



But at the same time,

the prospect of a new chapter,

in my otherwise dismal life,

is so achingly tempting.



I can't predict the future.

I cannot say if I shall suffer in silence,

or approach you like a man possessed.
