The uselessness of the body in love

My heart is just a sack of blood

That beats faster each time you kiss me.

And my lungs are just bags of air

That tighten each time I see you.

And my stomach is just a pocket of stuff

That become 'butterflies' each time you hold me.

And my eyes are just balls of goo

That dilute each time you smile at me

My mouth is just a hole in my face

That stretches and bares teeth when you laugh.

And my palms are just canvases of worn skin

That slicken when they have to meet yours.

And my spine is just a rod of nerves

That shiver each time you talk to me.
