love feels like dying

CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE

heart full
of tears
too full
to let the
blood in
I breathe
through my
amphibian skin
only to drown
in the ocean
of my own body
and soul

misunderstood
hurtful words
spread like
word cancer
line by line
like pretty
colored lights
on our Christmas trees

heart full
of tears
soul full
of fears

why does
love feel
like dying
