"Love" Poems

[Lina]

Heh. It's a song, but close enough. Believe it or not, the way she does it is really funny. Really sad, but funny. (-:

----------------------------------

I'll iron your underwear, polish your tennis shoes,
follow your dog around and pick up her poop;
I'll do your laundry and be very nice...
Just don't leave me darling, or you'll screw up my life.

'cause...
I was nothing before you came.
I was dirt on the sidewalk - I didn't have a name.
But then your sunshine came in through my door;
You have changed my life, I've no worries any more.

Whatever you want, dear, I'll try to appease.
I'll rush in with tissues when you're about to sneeze.
I'll write your thesis, trim the mold of your cheese...
I'll pay your mortgage, just don't leave me please.

'cause...
I was nothing before you came.
I was slime on the cat's dish - I didn't have a name.
But then your sunshine came in through my door.
You have changed my life; I've no worries any more.

With you I have purpose,
and direction in my life.
My world is now perfect,
forever free from strife.

But just today, dear, when I alphabetized
the food in your kitchen, you stopped, and asked, "Why?"
I - I thought hard for an answer...
One that you would approve...
But you didn't wait, darling,
towards the door you started to move.
You said,

"If you were nothing before I met you,
you'll continue to be nothing, no matter what I do.
So now I'm leaving into the bitter cold -
No, no, don't get my coat, dear, I've really got to go."

I guess you're right, dear.
You always are.
So please come back to me, and I'll repaint your car.
I'll arrange your bath towels by color and by size...
But you ignored me, you had no reply.
You said...

...Nothing.
