i chose you

i chose you
becuase you had a center of gravity
a stillness
a quiet

I needed to
reachout my finger
my hand
and clamp onto the
lid of your
calm

The whirlwind of my life
left my head spinning
left me breathless in
pain
cunfusion
my spirit continued to swing to and fro
and each person I met
brought their
own confusion
panic
chaos
into my small circumference
until I was
choking
suffocating
hyperventilating
screaming silently in despair

and then i met you
that is the answer
although you
may not understand
we didn't just fall in love
i chose you
i chose you...
