La Douleur Exquise

The depth and pull of
My stormy soul
Heart thudding with every
Measured mile
One more second, hour, day
"One day at a time"
Unleashed passion with no
Denouement
Except those mad dreams
Where I'm not even sure if it's you
(You'll be pleased to know 
you're a wonderful kisser
nonetheless)
What lessons taught?
Only the oldest and most worn of all
That love is our deepest wound
Our endless addiction
From which sobriety is mere chimera
Sisyphean lover that I am 
Practicing Nietzsche's eternal return
I'd push boulders uphill for eternity
Smiling and laughing and sighing
So exquisitely beautiful is the pain
Of loving you
