LOVE
Love has the ability to manipulate my mind into a fairy tale
Turn and twist and fold my heart like origami
It’s a drug
Similar to alcohol possibly stronger
Higher than weed strong
More powerful than LSD cause it causes you to only see through rose colored lenses and coming off that shit is close to death
Instantaneous chills, constant aching, uncontrollable tears
….upset stomach, heart burn, diarrhea all the symptoms but pepto bismol won’t work
But when youre on it that’s it
The strongest hit
All you need is one hit
And you’re addicted
Heart flutters
Butterflies
Smiling for no reason
Walking on the clouds and everyday is a holiday to say I love you when your in love
So where do you find that balance
That balance between being up or down
Between in or out
That special place where it’s ok if the drugstore runs out of love and doesn’t even carry a placebo
How do you avoid the crackhead reaction of laying in sleeping not eating
Is there some OTC remedy that I missed out on
Some equivalent to the feelings
Maybe an immunization against heartbreak
Perhaps
But it just feels so good to take the leap and fall in love
Stay in love
But what happens when you hit the ground after you’ve fallen and youre left to pick up the remaining pieces
Maybe there’s a special prescription or doctor recommendation for that
Perhaps
But it’s to fall try fear and taste the addiction
The adrenaline rush from the simple three words I love you too
And the sugar crash shit feeling of I don’t want to be with you
Keeps earth turning maybe the reason why the sky is blue
Not really but perhaps
It’s just the risk taken
