blade at the end of a cross

    
   
love is a    
sword    
   
love is a    
shield    
   
love    
hurts    
   
love    
heals    
   
love is    
Jesus    
   
love is a    
blue devil    
with a hard    
on    
   
love is,    
"come    
 here."    
   
love is,    
"get the.    
 fuck away."    
   
love is an angry    
bullet aimed at    
the heart of an    
old lion resting    
peacefully on the    
high plains    
   
love is living    
through the    
pain and    
misery of the    
mundane,    
average    
everyday    
   
love is a    
baseball    
bat to the    
head    
   
love is    
ground    
glass    
wrapped    
in a burrito    
   
love is    
laughing    
   
love is a    
hernia in  
the mind    
   
love is the sweetest    
sour blade that will    
ever be dragged    
across your throat    
that will murder you  
a hundred times    
   
and each murder    
will be the most    
magnificent sunrise    
you have ever    
experienced    
   
love in all its myriad    
forms breeding hideous    
creatures of hope    
in various disjointed,    
fearful contortions    
 
love..  
   
burning on the
lips like acid
going    
down
