Your Love

 Your Love

Your love is the fuel
for the fire burning inside me.
It scorches my heart
and takes its toll.

I would search for a cure,
but the only one is time —
time that I don’t have.

Your love is toxic, like a plague;
it eats away at my very soul
until I no longer exist as me.

Your love is hard to break,
like chains around my feet.
I cannot run —
for I am weak.

But still...
I love you.
