stop to
 7
breathe

                                                want me and
 10
love me      so                            endlessly you
 11
                                                tell me this is love
 12
and then     I'll believe in  
 13
you                                          and me everlasting

Very clever little thing you have going on there!
 — FangzOfFire

it would be cool if you could format the title the same way, and do this with three or more columns.  this is creative, but that would take talent.
