Love

Love is

            Love is swallowed like a sin

            That tastes like savage storms

            Love is a hostile condition

            That ignores touch and comfort

            Love won’t request your desire

            Or call for your company

            And love won’t beg for forgiveness

            Because love has a mouth

            That is empty

            Love will be the last to leave

            Lingering in dark corners

            Love is never complete

            And love won’t complete you

            Love won’t let you love

            Or forgive

            Or forget

            Because love will rip life from your grasp

            Without question or reason

            Love will feed on your attention

            Desiring a waveless heart beat

            Turning it into a place full of mess

            Love is a panicked beast

            That will gorge on your soul

            Immobilising

            The questioning in your mind

Love is

Love
