ICHOR AND TEARS

cardiology

meeting you was a coincidence
but loving you was on purpose
i hate blood but i sliced my chest
in half and dissected the chambers
i studied my heart thoroughly
before deciding what love is to me
though i am impatient,
with you i took my time
slowly,
surely,
painstakingly,
because you deserve more
than just being loved
accidentally.
