Until You

Until You

By

Phillip Daum

I’ve never been so stressed,

Obsessed, impressed, distressed,

Perplexed, sexed, vexed

Messed, blessed,

So comfortable undressed,

Had my best and worst rest,

So many feelings deep in my chest,

Or given life my best,

Until you.

I’ve never been so amused, confused,

Had everything and nothing to lose,

So obtuse, what’s the use?

Had to ask myself is this abuse,

Until you.

I’ve never felt more joy,

Like a little boy,

And the whole world our toy,

Nor ever played more coy,

Until you.

I’ve never had a friend so loyal,

With a spirit that is royal,

Slipping, sliding over oil,

Like my whole life is toil,

So long since my blood did boil,

Until you.

I’ve never felt so elated,

Frustrated, emasculated,

Guilty when I masturbated,

Felt my views were so dated,

That I was jaded,

With someone I loved, I said I hated,

But I was so sated,

I knew I had made it,

Until you.

I’ve never felt more fake or more real,

Enjoyed every single meal,

I never even knew I could feel,

Until you.

I’ve never been offered divine heeling,

Been seen so much as scheming,

was beaming,

Bent down kneeling,

Like a banana peeling,

Had lost all feeling,

Until you.

I’ve never felt more in love,

Like a gift from above,

A beautiful little dove,

With a fit like a glove,

Until you.

Wire stretched over a giant hole,

My heart, stole,

Realized I found my soul,

Until you.
