They say that love should consume you

That cupid should have you in a chokehold

And if he doesn't

Well,

Then it doesn't last

How about all the other times it doesn't last though?

How about the times when you do everything correctly and yet still break?

When you put yourself out there and your feelings are reciprocated,

But you still end up sad

Not because you did anything wrong,

Nor because you couldn't love them

How can something so beautiful be so catastrophic?

It's like you made flowers grow in my lungs

And although they are beautiful,

I cannot breathe anymore
