Ode to (the opposite of joy)

3 simple words define me,

they hold me captive but trust me,

I am not complaining 

 

I love you, from start to finish

and beyond even that 

I love you and I know it´s not wise

but trust me when I say it´s a fact

 

and love is hard, like so damn hard

it´s like walking with 2 broken legs

It´s like singing when you have a piercing headache

 

but I love you, 

more than the sun loves to shine,

more than the wind loves to whistle

 

but there´s darkness creeping up behind me 

and I know who they represent 

2 shadowy figures; a man and a woman

 

They trap me back in this tower

but I cant let my hair down

they never disappear

 

I am doomed to stay here 

year after year

while you are out free

 

and I know its naive

but maybe we can keep going

Long-distance? it´s hard

 

as hard as singing with this piercing headache

as hard as  running with two broken legs

but its harder not to love you than it is to hold you close

 

and even if it takes days, months, or years

I´ll be here and midst of all your tears

you will come to realize that I will never, ever truly leave you 

 

My tower is tall

and my captors are taller 

but my love is stronger than any boulder, any obstacle, and any captor

that shall choose hurt us rather than to ponder

may they fall out of this tower and forever wander 

 

and as crude or rude as It may be

I can't erase the love there is 

clearly between you and me
