love is “an intense feeling of deep affection” they say
what a meager definition for such a consuming feeling
to me, to love is to be a cannibal for one’s heart
to love is to consume—
to search and to learn and to listen to their souls
to be dead and be raised from the grave just by their voice
my love takes up all their hearts space
even when i wasn’t even invited
and yet i still ache with more to give
to love is to listen so deeply
that my ears bleed
to love is to drink their words
eat their maggots
i love head to toe
bones and all—
until you evaporate
because my love was too strong
but in my head you’re still here
because I still never gave you all my love after all.
