my love is like...

my love is like...

the sea,

during a tumultuous storm

capturing innocent victims

dragging them down in its fury

and conquering them in the end.

 

my love is like...

knives,

long and sharp

being thrown simultaneously

at one lone target

piercing it through

so that it never can be used again.

 

my love is like...

the bite of a venomous snake,

sinking its fangs

into unsuspecting prey

paralyzing them into helplessness

and then mercilessly

swallowing them whole.

 

my love is like...

a bottomless abyss,

into which stumble the lost

and once realizing their mistake

they find it is too late

for they are destined to be

forever falling

to their death.
