Love

I felt it sharp
In my chest
I felt it climbing
Up my neck

Stuck in my throat
An awkward lump
Kept moving up
Into my mouth

My tongue licked
Against its sticky form
Running dry
My words had gone

The veins crept out
Past my lips
And down my face
Felt obvious

They trundled down
Tangled my legs
Just like vines
My restraints

I couldn't run
My feet at bay
Here with you
Is where I'll stay

The blood pumped
From my heart
Flooded my mind
Stole every part

It was too much
Ran from my eyes
Blinded to see
Or undo the ties

Blood pumps warm
It feels good
I wouldn't change it
Even if I could
