I Only Know Love Through Us

Lilac

Love is all-destroying

It tears you limb from limb

Bleeds you dry and leaves you with nothing

 

A nothing that is so intoxicating that your heart rate speeds up

Your brain gets all fuzzy and your vision blurs to the point that it’s like a prison

 

It hurts like a knife being driven into your stomach

And it’s beautiful, a masterpiece, painted by the finest artists

 

Yet the canvas keeps coming up blank and tattered

Held in a frame so broken that no one dares to look at it
