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.
