CROSSMYHEART

immense devotion, unbreakable love. cuts, tears, kisses, softness, bandages from the outside. in our world, a light so blinding, a force that sucks the air out of our lungs. we both have the right weapons to hurt each other. we run, we speak sharp words, we laugh. it’s just between us. it’s fear. of something so big it can kill you. and you try to kill it before it touches you, but you only wound yourself and the other half of your soul. and then silently, two forever brides comfort each other, sanitize, cure, sanate, kiss the blood from each other’s body. “can love be too much?” they ask, as if we’re a lifeless painting on the wall. no, my love. no.
