"you always hurt
the ones you love."
if that is love then i don't want it.

"love is blind and deaf."
if that is love,
then i do not want it.

"love is when you're willing to
sacrifice everything for their happiness."
if that is love then i don't want it!

so many descriptions,
so many types.
what is the rawest form of love?
your pulse races,
your breathing's deranged.
your pupils dilate
and your heart palpitates.

love's symptoms
are just like death's.
so is it safe to assume that once
you love, you start dying?

science says love is fiction,
cause my chemicals in the brain.
spurred by the instincts of reproduction,
for the sake of specie preservation.

love is an instinct for humans to continue thriving the earth.
maybe if that is love then i can tolerate it.

but then you came and smiled.
what is love again?

"love shakes you the very core that it hurts you but ends up making you a stronger person."
if that is love then i want it.
