If Love Was A Crime

Anthony Hanible

If love was a crime

I’d cross the line

Quick in the dark

Heart on the spine

If love was a theft

I’d steal your breath

Pocket your pulse

Run from the rest

If love was a chase

I’d hide your face

Tucked in my chest

Safe in the space

If love was a sin

I’d break again 

Bleed for the touch

Burn for the grin

If love was a law

I’d break it raw

Caught in your hands

Bound by your draw

If love was a crime

I’d serve the time

Locked in your name

Yours by design

    I love this multifaceted look at love using it in all its aspects to convince how much one has for another. Well written
