I read a poem written by one of my friends and under the condition I leave her name out, she allowed me to post it!!!

I live for you

When I look at you I see you dead.
A dead sea of blackness from head to toe.
And the envy of men from toe to head.
But nonetheless I see you. Dead.
Carved from the clay of Ethiopian kings
And fashioned to my liking.
You make me feel like birthdays and sunday mornings and a father after childbirth.
But nonetheless I see you dead!
If I could pick you apart I would.
And save pieces of you as momentos in a secret place.
I would tell myself about you over time
And the story would last FOREVER,
However I see you dead.
But. nonetheless.
I LIVE for you!
