Your love hit me like 5 inches of snow in Mid May
For a moment it reminded me of Christmas
The warmth of Carols, coco, and cheer assaulted my senses
Distracted me from the dying Dalias and frostbitten tulips you slayed
And my heart,
freshly blossomed,
withered with them

Not expecting the bitter cold
But welcoming it without worry
It was numbingly nice
Nice but no more
In the end I lost limbs to it
My nose fell clean off
My heart stopped
…I always wanted someone to do that to me
…Stop my heart
Sweep me off my feet
I just didn’t know it hurt that much to have it done
