Love piles all around me
when I think or have you
at first site, I clearly remember
how I was instructed
to cherish the pretty things. 
I’d rather still
go back in time
change a couple of things,
prepare my ego
for the heartache
or carry wire cutters
for the barbed wire 
strewn around my feet. 
In love and loving you
are two exclusive things.  
Perhaps my mind got caught up
in what my eyes could see. 
The visual imprint
of absolute beauty
exclusively on the outside
because what’s in-side
is dangerously close
to what I need.
