something seldom said

by derek garner - Virgo

you've heard me say
i love you,
times close to matching eternity
but,
i've never said you completed this man
who thinks so highly of you.

i've given you heartaches,
turned hair silver-grey
that you hide with dye,
thrown you ulcer touchdowns til
you're the MVP,
and even cursed your very name
and existence.
but when i lie down and think
of life without you,
a part of me withers and i
change my minds subjects matter.
because we hiked around for nine months
together
i can say you completed me.

wherever my path shall lead me,
i'm just a stones throw away.
my black lily will never willow
mom,
you complete me,
just thought you should know.
