I love you
he says
I love you
I reply
and I realise we're both lyingbecause his I love you has to be coaxed out of his throat
and my I love you has to be shaken out of my belly
our words of love are like whispers from a grave nobody bothers to visitit is like living inside a prison whose foundation we laid
we don't have love
cause if we had love we wouldn't feel this waybecause honey
love is not entrapment
it is freedomlove is the baby bird's first leap of faith before it realises it can fly
love is the cicada's song which rumbles way into the night,
unaware of its magic
love is a single dewdrop on a blade of grass reflecting the sun's gloryit is not us
what we have, you and I
can never be called love
it can only be called remembrancelover is currently #10 on #poetry.
