Love on the spectrum

by Rey Severs   Apr 12, 2017


I promise to love you forever, even if it hurts,
Loving you is risky, albeit, what is loving you is dirt.
I may say the meanest of things, when I cannot comprehend,
What is going on? My mind is a loop with no end.

I sometimes shatter, I sometimes do not process,
But please understand, I don't love you any less,
Coming out as emotions, sometimes even rage,
I just don't understand, my mind is in a cage

It is hard to tell you, or warn you of my terrors,
The simplest things can be read as error,
I love you still, even if I'm yelling,
It's just scary, and overwhelming

Please have patience, even if I seem self absorbed,
I don't know how to communicate the way you do is all,
I will never hurt you though, and I do care with my whole heart,
You are my entire world, nothing will tear that apart.

Love on the spectrum is a tedious time,
But to me, my dear, I'm lucky you are mine,
I try my hardest, and try to tell you ,
Please don't blame yourself..I promise we'll get through.

Just so anyone who reads this is aware. I have Aspergers. And I am describing some of the hardships I face with my current relationship. I am slowly beginning to realize many things relate to it, an dit can be hard to work around, especially for partners of those on the spectrum.

    I knew before you told me at the end. My husband and child both have aspergers. You communicate this well. I know your struggle and I love your poetry!

      Thank you so very much for your praise in my efforts to communicate what someone with Autism goes through. It is hard to describe but I am glad it came through. And it is great your husband and child have someone so understanding in their life :)
