Bitter sweet words

I love you

Words that flow from the brain and foam at the mouth untill it's spills out.

Three simple, heart crushing, stomach churning words.

I love you

Like homemade apple pie

And fresh strawberries picked from fields when the sun was shining

I love you

Like the words you say after you fuck up

Or have nothing else to back you up

I love you

Like rose petal lips touching razor blades

And hands on places you can never quite forget

I love you

Like tears spilling over eye lids and guilt eating at my chest

I love you

Like butterflies in pits of stomach and fireworks in skies

I love you

Like staring into your soul and deep dark secrets that never leave you

I love you

Like thoughts that consume me and never go

I love you

Like dreams and nightmares and I can't quite tell the difference anymore.

What am I living in?

I love you

I can tell when you're lying.

Funny how well we know eachother

I love you

Like a sickness that I don't want to leave

How long can I stay this way before I turn into poison.

I love you

Like we are Romeo and Juliet who gifted roofied drinks to eachother

I love you

Like traps we set up together and fell into just the same

I love you

Like The stinging of words in our poetry we write to eachother, love letters with just a sour twist desgiused in sugar

I love you

Like evening purrs of sweet nothings

I love you

I think

What is love?

Is it blood and black eyes or tugged lips with teeth.

Is it love letters written in meadows

The greatest poets know how to hide the miserys

I guess you could call it a fairy tale.

I love you

Truly
