3:37 a.m.
I had to enter one of my most popular poems. It was originally written for Vinny, but I have learned to relate it to so many more people along the way. Funny how that works out....
ODE TO THE X
How do I love thee?
Let me count the ways
When you look at me
There is just so much I want to say
I love you like a bee sting
I love you, love you� Blind!
I love you like my ears ring
And most of all, I'd love to leave you behind
I love you like a speeding ticket
I love you like filth and dirt
Like a scab I want to pick it
No matter how much I think it hurts
I love you like a flat tire
I love you like burning brush
I love you without desire
I love you till I cuss
I love you like a cold sore
I love you like the flu
I love you like I slam my face in the door
And I watch my lips turn blue
I love you like poop in a jar
I love you like rotting mold
you're like stink in a fart
After the stench has taken hold
You're not much to like
That much is true
Someone told me I sound like I'm on strike
But All this love's for you
I love you like the chicken pox
I love you like flat coke
I love you like electric shock
I love you till I choke
I love you like a penny
When all I want is ten
Reasons,�. I have so many
But let me tell you again
I love you like wet nails
When I am already running late
My love for you never fails
My love is never open for debate
I love you like my car alarm
The way it goes off in a thunder storm
Funny how its charm
Makes the neighbors start to swarm
I love you, love you, �puke!!!!!
I love you like a rash
Feelings I can't rebuke
Or trade in for some cash
I love you like gum in my hair
I love you like a bruise
I'm the one writing here
So I will love the way I choose
I love you like a pest
Or a muscle that never relaxes
I love you like the IRS
When I haven't paid my taxes
I love you like green slime
I love you like the naked truth
Love you, love you all the time
A love that comes with no proof
I love you like lingering fear
When I get pulled over by the cops
I love you till I tear
This love just never stops
My love for you is stored
My love is out of sight
I love you like nails on the chalkboard
I love you up all night
I love you for a while
I love you till I shout
I love you with this smile
And then I want to wipe you face out
I love you like fringed nerves
I love you like burnt hair
I wonder if you've heard
But I don't really care
Cause I love you through and through
And there is so much that I could say
My love for you is true
And my love will never decay
I'm not trying to make a funny
I'm not trying to make things right
It's not like this poem has made me "money"
So I don't care if you want to fight
I love you like burning heat
I love you like soap in my eyes
My love is so complete
And now I love to say good bye
