Love talked to me one day…

“Go away while you still can,

Before I hold you so tightly,

That you’ll lose a portion of yourself if you run away…

But if you choose to be with me,

I’ll show you the ugliest beauty you’ve seen.”

And, we felt lost,

but love took us to a place under shelter-

At least that’s what it seemed.

But for a moment…

There was despair,

There was cold wind,

Our own eyes melted,

Yet we still called it home.

Can I ask you something?

Was it love?

Or was it danger glazed by a smile?

Death will tell us.

Then we can rest…

Knowing we have the answer.
