fantasize about the veins in your wrist popping
like his eyes did when you said the words
"i love you."
grow uncomfortable with the lasting silence
within yourself
an itch that you can't scratch.
a self that you can't love.
know that though it may be temporary
you feel like glass has settled in your lungs
a metallic edge to the blood in your heart.

i'm in love and it hurts like hell
