How do I love thee
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways:
My scars speak of time and devotion
Two things that reek of prison but
I snapped the key and threw the shards away
Without a second thought.
When I bleed, I bleed emotion;
Millions of words, thoughts, feelings
Held inside me, causing unbearable pressure
As I struggle to retain them all,
Flashing through my body
With every thud of that battered organ.
With every beat of my beaten heart,
I love you to destruction.
My scars speak of time and devotion
Two things that reek of prison but
I snapped the key and threw the shards away
Without a second thought.
When I bleed, I bleed emotion;
Millions of words, thoughts, feelings
Held inside me, causing unbearable pressure
As I struggle to retain them all,
Flashing through my body
With every thud of that battered organ.
With every beat of my beaten heart,
I love you to destruction.
