in love with love

the river was drained of meaning
as it floods the land of my heart
the currents flow too slow
out of sync with my heartbeat

my heart doesn’t beat for you
doesn’t yearn to be whole
once broken, always broken
i thought you had changed

i thought that like the river
it would make you change
that you would realize
that my trust in you is gone

the feeling of your hand
grasping my wrist haunts me
the redness that came after
nothing more will come after

today, i realized that
we were long over
before we began
& you’re just in love with love
