Skeleton of a Love

It may be cliche, but sometimes love drains creativity. Too much mush.

Sometimes I wish I never fell in love with you. 

But then I take it back. 

Because being in love with you,

was the greatest thing I could have experienced. 

But the heartache afterwards

brings me to my knees. 

Sends a cold wind through 

my fragile bones.

Knocks everything against each other

as if my empty ribcage 

was the most beautiful wind chime. 

I filled myself with your soul

and now I am as hollow 

as your love. 

I hope you don’t ever come back.

But if you do, 

I’ll be here with open arms. 

I hate that.

Reminds me of my ex-wife. Emotional devastation in conflict with exhilaration described beautifully. You made me feel...

Thank you so much, glad I could touch you

No mush here just feelings laid bare. Really like lines 7-11. Well done that lady
