this is love.

an open wound
shake shake shake
in the salt
squeeze liberally
the lemon juice
and then press it together
until its torturous
this is love
this is what love feels like
and the worst part
is that he doesnt even know
he doesnt even get that it stings
that it burns and tears and
it breaks you down
until you arent even yourself
but someone who is constantly
GASPING
grasping for some kind of reassurance
that you haven't fallen alone
can two people ever connect
or is it the inevitable
that no matter what you do
you will always be alone
no matter how you're touched
or how you touch others
you are ALONE
and no one gets you
not even the one you love
who you know loves you
because he cant even understand
how he becomes the one person
who can be your ruin
and somewhere between the words
i love you
and
i love you too
you are destroyed.
