Love is chemicals supposedly

so why do I - why do I feel below

my rib cage inside my heart like a steady

ache?

Will it go too fast too slow if I

only kiss you until I suffocate breathing

from your lungs? like asphyxiation?

Why am I sprawled if it's just an animal

signal? Why should I care, why

are my fingernales drawing blood

from my palms

tearing tears from my eyes?

If love is chemicals

sure as hell they're cyanide

arsenic, babe.
