I always want to make everything tight and line up everything nice. I’m resisting the urge to suggest that though. Your work has a certain arrhythmic drive to it. So there’s that metaphorical connection: for example when we fall desperately in love it’s like our hearts are skipping beats and going all fluttery or if that love isn’t returned maybe they’re compressed and heavy feeling. That’s probably a bit of projection on my part but as the reader I felt that way.

Annoying fanboy,

this is well written & despite my cliche, it is from the heart. The issue is that you seem to lack the confidence in the relationship by suggesting there is something you don't see. It's not an over-recation, your heart is telling you something & until you tackle it head on it will begin to eat you up.

Show this to your partner, let them relieve any doubts...bet you'll find there is nothing to be concern or doubtful about.

Having said all this, you may just have written a fine poem that is fiction...us poets do like to do that!!

Enjoyed,

One.

after reading your very first poem here, I was in deep smit (smitten?) with your style! i like your title, and everything that comes after. some might think you to be paranoid (the jaded) but I see it more as reasonable doubt. maybe because you are unsure of how your loved one feels. you should have a serious conversation about that. (you inspire me)

my favorite lines are:

Crazy in love. Crazy for you.
I want to be together forever, quite literally.
So, I’ll use this needle & thread for you and me.
Just so that you cannot leave.
I get what I want.
And you’re not something I want to get rid of.
You truly are,
my embroidered love.

respects, Cat

like an actual embroidery stitching the two of you together, something that a crazed person might do!
Sorry, just my ghoulish imagination acting up! LoL. Are you a wrestling fan? I see a little WWE ragdoll in the corner. ~ Geezer.

like religion, I love seeing the characters every week and trying to decide if they're going to go bad or turn Face [good] and I love the athleticism of these performers. [Of course I know it's scripted!] But that doesn't make it any less interesting. There is a female character that currently keeps a rag-doll as a mascot and talks to it and at one point she was really out there, but supposedly getting help through therapy now. Anyway, I like this a lot, and I can see you developing characters like her. I currently have a few that are all connected. The main one is Killer, who has an alter-ego named Sir Gee, another is his dog who is named Anubis. They often have adventures together. I see where you could develop and play with characters for your work. Something to think about anyway. I like your imagination and the way you put this one together. More! ~ Geezer.
