Love is not a paradigm, by Marnie Lawson

Love is not a paradigm

I cherish every second that I spend in your arms;

for this is not a love I’ve known

You have capsized my world and left a shimmering essence

A treasure to call my own

Caress me with your words and touch me with your soul

Perpetual ecstasy

A thousand times over, you mean everything to me

I love you endlessly

Liked or faved by...

Darkness

I feel like I could flood a river With all the tears I’ve cried Sitting here in silence As I watch the world go by Waiting for something or someone

Rust

Do I look like grass? Do I look like dirt? A surface to be walked on? Something to hurt? Am I that underserving
