Her Love <3

 

Her love is overwhelming,
Terrifying, even

She knows things, people,
Feels them to her marrow

Her love wraps around them,
Folding upon itself within her,
Taking up so much space inside,
She sometimes feel as though
She needs to hide from it,
That life and love ask
Far too much of her

Sometimes, the love is so tight inside,
She isn’t sure she can endure it,
So she tries to find a way to escape it,
Just for a while

But the things she needs
To do for herself,
In order to rest her heart and mind,
Hurt the people she loves

Her survival sometimes means
Hurting the people she loves,
Not because she doesn’t love them

But because she loves them too much.
