1You are the sand in my paper cut,
The blister on my foot,
The salt in my wound.
You irritate me, exasperate me, frustrate me.
Yet…
You are the light of my day,
The smile on my face,
The bounce in my step.
You intrigue me, captivate me, fascinate me.
This internal fight
Is tearing my heart.
Do I love you,
Do I love you not?
A/N: This was chosen to be published in the book Lyrical Iowa 2004. Please, look for it! There were 1017 entries and only 17 were chosen…I'm very proud! This is my second published work, the first is entitled "But Mostly".
