pencil marks colour my palms grey

while lead streaks the lined paper

with pronounced enthusiasm for

a world that does not exist,

but i wish to exist every night;

it is only a letter.

a letter with a love that spills

onto the pages,

i cannot help to think that

to love must be an art form,

because how beautiful

are the tear marks in between the words,

how lovely are the crinkles

that lace the outer edges of

an emotion that consumes me,

screaming to be felt.

i let it live and grow and burn

i let it burst into flames

ignite and die out

i let it reignite

i let it seize and then fight

i let love have its way.

sometimes love goes

sometimes love stays.
