'Mary Bradley-Martin' by Ravyn LaRue


I love her way too much

She seems so nice

I want to be like her

Yet she isn’t saintly enough to make me regret my own sins.

She shows her flaws in seamless streams of a silver tongue

She’s as passionate as one ought to be.

She’s close enough to feel kindred to

Yet far enough to seem angelic.

I get the idea that art is her religion as well.

I could imagine us worshiping it together in the glory of a moment.

And we’d sing and we’d dance and we’d show off all the creations we can-

And we’d love lots.

She’s just devious and morose enough for me to feel safe within her shrapnel.

I can tell she has a bitter broken past-

And I know one oughtn’t think like this-

But I feel I have enough nurturing to heal whatever the rotten wounds could be.

Yet she’s as gorgeous as some heavenly being-

She’s all I’ve escaped from, and all I long to be.

We would be the perfect mates-

I already love her whole-heartedly, and that’s half the battle already won!


Oh my dear, if I compiled all the hours I spent thinking of us as us-

I don’t doubt it would fill many years!

You’re such a beautiful spirit-

You make me want to compromise myself, which I surely know is wrong-

But it does prove my devotion!

Your art makes me feel so much- it is the approachable catharsis I’ve longed for!

I know you’ve seemed insane sometimes, but you know I’d risk it!

I’m crazy, too- everyone is, to some degree or another, I’m sure!

Oh, Victoria, my beloved darling-

You’ve made me crush harder than a schoolgirl!

But this is deeper than that, I’m sure.

A binding of our souls in my heart.

I just feel it, and believe me, I will always adore you, my love.

Even as the world turns faster and I’m a withered old thing-

My adoration has lasted this long, and due to the magic of creation-

It can never

Ever

Die!
