Love is a knife fight

by Rage

Love is a weighty thing Soft sometimes Always sharp enough to keep you bleeding I always felt the harder you loved The farther the fall The kind of fall that kills you I started imagining the impact before feeling it's warmth I would negotiate with myself "A punch to the face would ease the lonely" I had been choked out by the hands that held me To be touched was not breathing Love is a fist fight inside me Is wreckless abandon Love is a weakness Always being exploited A knife fight And I have nothing left to be taken Love is a weapon Love is a word An empty feeling left unheard Love is a knife fight A weighty thing. Don't ask me to love you, I could never I care for you to much
