Romance

Romance still has a grip on me
Too tight to be ignored

It takes up residency in my soul
It lingers quietly in my veins

Perhaps It’s the only thing
That gets to me this way

Starving, hysterical, naked
I’m torturing myself to death

Love truly has It’s ways
To make me feel defenseless

Almost like I’m drowning
In my own pool of warm blood

But I do not call for help
There is no point, I’m so far gone

Because I give much more
than I take
And that's what makes all the difference
