Love Cuts (Free verse) by ifni
Love Cuts
desire
like poison
fills my veins
a beast
writhing inside of me
I sit here frozen
stiff, helpless
and unwilling
to expose my weakness.
agony
like lust
fills my veins
as I shred myself
denial
an iron
burning
in my gut
anger
like fear
fills my veins
How _dare_ you
hurt me this way?
I am in flames
burning in my desire for you.
like danger
like fear
you overwhelm me
choke me up
spit me out
tear me down
know and
misunderstand me.
love cuts two ways
it turns in my hands
to bite me back
like a gemini beast
like a twoheaded dog
like a razor
love cuts two ways
you injure me
as I injure you
we trade soulblows
like kisses
entangle each other
consume one another
hurt one another
love each other
only to flee
each the other
in pain
like a razor
love cuts two ways.
