I. L. Y.

How much longer
Will it take
For you to see
What is here
Inside of me
Wanting to get
Ripped out
Of my soul

Wanting to be
Splattered all over
So everyone
Can take a look
And notice
That what is here
Will never go away
And will be for you

I want to make sure
That the world
Can hear
When I say
What is in there
In my heart
And soul
And thoughts

Oh,
These words
Are commonly
Misused
By the weak hearted
And the uncaring
But from me
They are real

These words
When put together
Are the most
Powerful
And life changing
Words ever spoken
And can kill
Or make life

If you know
Then all will be well
And you
Will finally
Know me
For my feelings
For you
And what you do

If I say
These words
Will you run
And avoid me
Not care
Or will you even do
Anything in significance
Or will you have it too

Whatever you choose
I want you
To know
That what I want
To be hurled all over
Waiting to be
Spilled out
Is true

And
Those
Words
Will
Be
I
Love
You
