Jasten Marianne Friedrich, an Acrostic Poem

Some people says they're crazy for their girl. Mine threw me into the Loony Bin... metaphoricly...

Just hearing your name excites my skin

A roaring fire burns through me

Strengthened by the thought of hearing your voice or feeling your touch

Tingles go down my spine when I think of you

Every one of my senses goes into overdrive

Nerves scream out as everything jump into ultra-fine focus

 

Most men would give anything for a girl like you

And I once thought I would too

Rain fell, the night you said yes to me

Instantly, my world brightened

As the girl I left behind became an Angel of Despair

Nothing but you filled my days

Nothing, for those first two weeks

Everything else was irravent

 

Fog covered my eyes and blinded me to the truth

Revealed by the Angel of Despair, you weren't ever there

Inside of me, something broke, when I realized that you weren't ever truely there

Erase my mind, please, Angel of Despair

Don't let me remember this one sided relationship

Release me from love's iron claws

Instead, she laughs and grabs my hand

Changing not reality, but my state of mind, so now I can be found

Here in this room with the big, white, padded walls
