What do you do when you feel your heart start to sink?
Lower and lower
Deeper and deeper.
What do you do when your thoughts start to consume your mind?
Bit by bit
Inch by inch.  
Loving so hard it's scary.
Loving so much it's easy.
Allowing yourself to believe that everything will be okay
That everything will always remain the same.  
What do you do when it starts happening to you ?
It's hard to stop
Dangerous to continue, yet fueling your heart with this poison love
Feels so good.
Almost safe.
Sounds surreal ?
It's life with love.
Life with heartbreak.
Life with risks not knowing when it's worth taking that leap.
That sudden panic
The lies that lay within the mouth of another
So therapeutic, yet so deceiving.
What do you do when it suddenly consumes you ?
When you become it?
When it becomes you ?
Love so confusing
Love so empowering
Love so dangerous its safe.
We all do it
The thirst of it is so quenching to our bleeding hearts.
Yet why does it somehow tear us all apart?
