'Don’t Be A Fool, Girl, Tell Him You Love Him' by Ravyn LaRue

I've already written more poems about you than any rational person should
But I favor emotion over logic, and I think that's why I've written you so much
I want to spread my soul out for you, since I truly believe that you would understand
And sometimes I still fear that though I am clinging to you, you might not like it
But I would never lie, and I love you- not more than everyone, but different
I feel like if I were to confide any stitch in the tapestry of my life you would understand
And I my brain tells me I'm dumb to put that much faith and power in someone who-
A year ago was merely a dear boy I longed to know better yet had no inkling of
But my heart says, he is home to you and moments shared are art and openness-
Don't give this up- you've never had someone like this-
You've been fooled in the past, but it never felt that real anyways
So self, don't be stupid- cherish him, and them and everything-
Because you know all too well what it feels like to be homeless and alone
If this boy feels like home to you, let catharsis reign true-
So I'm writing you another poem, though I've already written more than any rational person should
Because I love you, and love is never rational
We promised to stay in touch and I will stick to that steadfastly
For I've missed you more than I would like to admit, because you are a representation of all that is good-
At SPCPA, in Minnesota, in Art and in the Universe
And you mean the world to me
So I'll cry with you as long as you'll let me, because not many others will
And you mean the world to me, so here's yet another poem to add to the compendium
