Love is
Love is an ache
tugging at the soul and
playing heartstrings like a guitar
Love is a ghost
haunting the back of the mind
and whispering into ears
Love is a knife
cutting deep into the self
and leaving scars across skin
Love is a fire
filled with searing passion that
ignites sparks deep within
But I did not know this
till I met your eyes
from which I
couldn’t look away
you saw me
I saw you
and you gave me
an ache
a ghost
a knife
and a fire
