Love-ly
I offered my love to you And promised it would be forever. You can not ask anymore of me. My love as been sopped up and drained. It sloshes around your feet uselessly and proves I am nothing more than tears.
---
I can not love you. Do not ask it of me. I am worth nothing and my mind is all I have.
---
I felt in my fist, in my feet, behind my eyes, and in my ribs. The lurching fear that cradles hearts in a hot blanket of imbalanced anger.
I was left screeching into my hands in repeated pain and helpless tears. Your love inflated me to the brim of joy and your love overflowed until it was nothing.
Your kisses were memories of love which we could not revive or rediscover. We drained each other, clinging too tightly, taking and never stopping to replenish.
