is love
is it kindness patience understanding
is it bred from desire and lust
just a word
something else
compassion and giving
empathetic
a part of yourself to another
is it rough
harsh
sacrificing
grinding
stressful
painful
between these extremes of
elation, joy
a 3 am phonecall
makes your chest burst open
and shatter you like a mirror
you'll see your tear stained face in
day after day
become this jumbled jigsaw
of a human
be so attached to one person
then one day
not
and eventually love
someone else
or is it possible
to love two
and not let go
keep that clenched into your fist
locked in a box
guard it jealously
all those pieces
that can't be love
.......can it?
