Love?

Love.

That sinister place

In a world of light

That’s so blinding

Your inner darkness

Caresses and consumes you

Teaching you black magic

In a blank hallway

With many doors

However locked, someone told me

“You can bust those down.”

And in this hallway

From the ceiling

Comes the resounding crash

Of a shoe hitting a wooden floor

And in this stunned silence

Your heart beats and bleeds

And rips itself apart

Thinking, wondering,

Hoping and dreaming about the time

When the other one will drop.
