lately
love has been greater than a mere chemical reaction
lately
love has been the steady, exhilarating thump in my chest
a smile plastered on my face from the overwhelming wave of euphoria
lately
love has been the soft, trembling lips
a gentle, prickling sensation that buzzes across each nerve of my body
lately
love has been the gentle graze of your eyes on the warmth of my cheeks
a shiny, wide eyed and adorning gaze as you unearth your true self
lately
love has been healing
love has been liberating
love has been passionate
it has been you
it has been i
love has been us

you form bricks in your mind
then callously spit them past your lips
heavy, pasty boulders
that always seem to land on my shoulders
these bricks are layering
i can feel my shoulders deteriorating
my home will soon be one of bricks
not the cozy cabin i once had

“You’re eating, again?”
The question stings like a honeybee’s kiss
I smile dryly as I nibble at my plate
You have moved on now
But I don't hear you
“You’re eating, again?”
These words intricately constructs heavy vines
encircling the delicate hand that once held my fork
I smile harder as three words prickles my body
Fabricating a paralyzing smog in my skull
The food becomes unpalatable and my mouth parches
“You’re eating, again?”
I rise and then I watch
"You’re eating, again?”
get flushed in a porcelain bowl
And I feel the familiar swell behind my eyes
And I weep
I weep because I ate again
