i love like a mangled dog,
rummaging through the grimiest corners
for some sort of semblance
of tranquility disguised as chaos
fangs constantly bared
but ceaselessly yearning
to be a subject of someone’s affection
tell me,
how do i stop loving like this?
contorted. star-eyed. gullible.
tell me,
how do i stop being loved
with anything but love?
until then,
i’ll still wait for you by the porch
tied on a leash too close to my pulse.
i’ll keep on waiting.
(when) are you coming back?
are you coming back?
