To place weight on the surface
That is only the beginning
Only then we begin to siphon away our experiences
To share the day to day
Until the day has turned night and you’ve been turned
Unable to breathe. Unable to find the switch.
And then you’ll know love. Then you’ll know what it is
To be attached as a parasite to a flower
The bonds form the memories that make you
And the memories form the thoughts that break you
While you examine “LOVE” in all caps
To every woman the looks your way
Now you know, you’re lost and thrown away
But it’s not the end. Numb is not a synonym for suffering.
LOVE is not a synonym for love.
