My Love (understood)

My love is a poison filled love letter

Open me up

Suffocate on my emotional instability

Read the words i weep

And hold them close until it’s too late 

Take every period

Every letter

Every breath you breathe into account

Tally the tear battered pages 

See the love I so desperately want to give 

You’d have to still the universe to still my love

Let it enter your bloodstream

Make me a familiar 

I crave familiarity

I want to be known

Choke on the remainders of affection that have plagued my entity over the years

Feel the burden of feeling 

Feel my burden of being

And once your gasping for air

Clawing into the empty space 

You’ll only then feel the grappling feeling of my love

The toxicity mixed into the bitterness of wanting to be known

Let me be known

Read my letters

The ink bears my soul

It bleeds onto these pages

Smother yourself with the poison of my love

Let it be overbearing 

Let me be
