				Collage Poem for Him
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			 
All at once I knew -- I knew at once -- I knew he needed me 
 
An empty room is merciless, don't be surprised if I confess: 
I sometimes have the tendency to look at you 
…religiously 
 
So many nights… 
So many dreams… 
I shall not envy lovers, but long for what they share. 
 
What the hell am I doing here? 
 
My beating heart wants you 
And my empty arms need you 
You touch me; I hear the sound of mandolins 
You are so beautiful to me 
You kiss me; with your kiss my life begins 
You’re spring to me 
You're everything I need 
…all things to me 
Nothing even matters to me 
 
Who would have thought his love could be so good? 
 
Can't you see you're everything I hoped for? 
If there's a thing that you need, I'd give you the breath that I breathe 
Don’t you know you’re life itself? 
I don't care if it hurts. 
Just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me… 
 
Nothing even matters to me 
You're part of my identity 
You've really got… 
You've really got a… 
 
…I don't belong here. 
What the hell am I doing here?
