bound

an unpolished token of words
i spoke
from young lips fresh with desire
and yearning
from the dreams of all my youth she was made
and made to hear
"i love you"
spoken
whispered
shouted
no vow shall ever bind me with more meaning
stronger does not exist
a multi-faceted diamond of words
the setting chosen is the beating heart she owns
"i love you"
shall be eternal
and recited each night
to the empty world i know now
