what is love? he had asked
because all he knew
was a lie
and everything he heard about
was very dream-like

(lucid and fragile in the way
she touched him)

do they tell?

about the hurt it entails
or the thorns awaiting;
that rip at his heart and not leave
his soul
he doesn't bleed nor does he gasp
& his lungs does not
feel the air or the warmth of his
consoling friend

(desperate and quick just like
how she came and left)

and as his breaths come out
like he's
s u f f o c a t i n g

do they tell?

he doesn't have three pixelated hearts or
the cheat codes to save himself a
heartache
and all that's left is the ruins
of the walls he spent years creating
none that can built up ever again
he doesn't get a restart
or an unwind button for the matter

(crumped and tossed;
broken and burned
as she walks away untethered
by the sorrow
she left behind)

[ he is just a second choice ]

do they tell?

Love is Sin
in its greatest form
so raw and crimson
you go blind
f o r e v e r.
