Love is selfish
and it will keep on jabbing at you
until you give it what it wants.
it gnaws, it claws, screaming at you to
work its will. it takes away your
health, doesn't let you eat, sleep, or move.
you lie awake, every night, feeling its
pressure sink into your bones until they break.
No one ever said that it was easy,
they just said that it would be worth it.
