Why does it never change?


I love you like a drunk
Loves a drink
Like my skin
Loves the kiss of a blade
Like my dog
Loves table scraps
Like you
Love her
I love you desperately
Wholely
Endlessly, passionately
I love you so hard that
Sometimes I hate you
Your impact on me
Your words
The way I measure
Everyone up to you and
No one ever compares
They are not you
Why must you be so unique
You’re the itch I can’t scratch
The addiction I can’t shake
The feelings I can never place
