And now my heart’s a fluttering dove

I’m not addicted to drugs but to love

For your affection

Because love is perfection

All it takes is one tiny shove

One tiny shove into the abyss

One tiny smile or a hug or a kiss

I’m writing these limericks

In the hope that something clicks

But my mind’s dark as a solar eclipse.

When I talked to you on the phone

Your voice, it warmed me to the bone

And I have to confess

That I became a mess

I looked up in your eyes and they shone.

Blood on ice, hot and cold

All my life I’ve been told

That love’s delicate and soft

Wings to hold you aloft

But the clouds have lost their hold.

I plummet, I cry, I shed my tears

Looking back for those three years

I want your affection

Your love it’s perfection

But it unleashes all my fears.
