An Abundance of Giving

Love was a hot air balloon

swollen in her lungs.

Unconditionally pure. Unrequitedly deep.

She was capable of loving anyone.

She had so much love to give

that she sprinkled it on everyone and

everything that came her way to make sure

it didn’t drown her from within.

Perhaps that’s why they mistook her heart for

an ocean with a never ending supply of water.

but

even the ocean craves rain.
