Love Personified

love has a way of destroying everything that you are,

it rips your heart right out of your chest and leaves some nasty scars.

it grips so tightly around your neck , you’ll find it hard to breathe.

makes you wish you had been shipwrecked instead, slowly drowning out at sea.

love can make you feel alone, even in a crowded room,

while decomposing your mind, you lie alive, in its flowered tomb.

it comes to visit where you lay and creeps inside your open grave,

pays you its condolences but offers no advice of what to save.

and just like that, love comes and goes, leaving you without a trace.

all that’s left are the memories made, and the tears streaming down your face.

but do not fret, there’s more to come, love could never be so unkind,

it lingers in unwanted places, stored forever in your mind.
