Love Kills
Jan 26, 2021
--
Love hurts
Love confuses
Love kills
Off any lingering doubts
While bringing into question
Whatever certainty you enjoyed.
It rearranges
Entertains
And deludes us
Love kills
The old roads that we wandered
Next to cliffs, jungles and wild animals
Tames the snarling lion inside
But
Love roars
Love wails
Love kills
The broad perspective
The will to take it slow and just be friends
The sleeping around with no regrets
Love flames
Love consumes
Love kills
The seeping infections of a million broken hearts
Sanitises my cynicism
And disarms the castle of my soul
Everything that love has killed
Has stripped away the junk
Stuck to my heart
Love kills
I throw myself onto its blade.
