Today

You

Gifted me with something

Sublime

Encouragement over faith

Construction over demolition

These are things that impress me

Inspire me to give everything

It breeds amphibious enthusiasm

Restructures the

            Self

It brings absolute fidelity to the

Heart and soul

Murders insecurity

Relieves the hostile struggle

Of doubt

You

Educated the savage loneliness

Liberated the masochistic hostage

Made the ambivalent

            Sanguine

Stoking the candied obsession of

            Passion

All of this is unworthy of any acclaim

Or indebtedness

The gratitude befitting such a gift is

            Allegorical

Therefore all I can leave you with

Today

Are mere words

In this

Cold

Digital

Medium.
