her love

her love poured out
of every crevice of her being,
the kind a soul could fall into
and purer than the first drop of dew
but alas at the same time
it was addictive
enamoring
overwhelming
so to him,
her love
was toxic
to him,
her love
was a hurricane

and all she wanted was to help him breathe when all he could do was drown.
