Murderous

(Hard candy

Tongues stained red

Extra hour of sleep

Yet it does no good)

I realize now the reason I didn’t want to be in love was not the heartbreak

I have seen that before

It is not pretty, but it is survivable

What will kill me is the loving

Sitting in the back of a car that isn’t mine

The early mornings and jewelry

I’ve cried more in love than any other time in my life

Murderous in it’s beauty
