my love for you
is a tragedy
because i cannot
breathe with it
and i cannot
breathe without it.
i would slit my throat
like Romeo
cry like Juliette
but instead i swallow
my fire
and let it
burn
in my chest.
loving you hurts
because you do not know
what love means
and i am left
to live with it
eating at my veins.
your eyes are like
oceans
your arms like
caves
and your heart
is an impenetrable wall.
i will wait by the wells
until you bring me water
to quench the thirst
you created in me
that nobody else
can feed.
love stories
are sad stories
about people
who died waiting.
