I am a threat to
those around me
because my moods
swing so violently.
They fluctuate
from one extreme
to the other
without warning.
I live among padded walls
in strait-jacketed
hopelessness, confined
to thoughts of you.
I am an insomniac;
I can’t sleep without
hearing the sound
of your voice.
All I utter in
my restless nights
is your name
in maddening repetition.
I must have
lost my mind
because I am crazy...
in love with you.
