Never in my life

Never in my Life, have I met someone like thee:

Someone,
Ever so kind and true of the Heart,
That thou from an Angel, I could not tell apart;

Someone,
Who seems to understand me
-- Of my ever deranged Mind, and lonely malady --;

Someone,
Whom I feel I can trust myself with
-- All my Secrets, my Hopes, my Dreams, upon to --;

Someone,
Who illuminated the way for my Soul astray,
And brought forth the better side of me into Day;

Someone,
Of such an inspiration -- if not Divine --,
That renewed -- so completed -- this very Life of mine...

Thus,
How can I ever thank thee?
How can I ever express my gratitude?

But to offer thee,
-- and thee alone --
All, that is of me...
My Heart, if thou will...
My Soul, if thou please...

-- for that special Someone...

You are to me

You are to me: a Drug...
That heals all the pain and sorrows of my Life,
Yet then makes me addicted once and ever more...

You are to me: the Sunshine...
That brightens every day of my Life,
Yet then scorches and burns my Soul into ashes...

You are to me: a Shower of Rain...
That refreshes my weary Soul,
Yet then drowns it away to the deepest sea...

You are to me: my Deliverance...
That gives me a taste of Hope...
Yet then leaves me just out of reach...

Every minute with you...
Is but a thousand years in Heaven...
and a thousand years in Hell:
I cannot but stumble and stutter upon your every presence...

Every minute without you...
Is but an eternity in Hell:
A painful yearning for my Soul...
and the deepest void in my Heart...

-- and again, for that special Someone...
