Is Love SUPPOSED To Feel Like This?

is love SUPPOSED to feel like this?

am i supposed to think of the way

your knife twisted in my chest

clogging my bloodstream

the iron in your love building in my eyes

the water you promised to give my flowers

rolling down my cheeks.

is love supposed to feel like this?

am i supposed to think of the way

my bed feels empty without you

sheets wrapping around my throat

chaining me

a mock of your embrace.

is love supposed to feel like this?

you come near me

my lungs run dry

you go away from me

the little thing that beats for you

each shade, however fainting,

draws me in, to your landscape, to you

the universe has made you like a painting.
