I am wondering if you can overdose on language.
too many whispered ‘i love you’s and soon
they become inky ‘I.O.U’s and debt has a different meaning
when it makes your ribcage feel empty.
If the dotted i’s of a letter become swords after a while and
suddenly you do not care if the pen is mightier, could you bear to read these promises anymore?
I wonder if maybe too many best wishes can be deadly too,
so i have burnt your letters but i am laughing because
maybe i am an addict of your words and maybe it is like
throwing out the substance after it has already killed you.
