A Love Poem

I breathe in and devour you whole

Your eyes begin to take a toll

You slip inside and cut me to shred

Til you unearth all that is dead

Entangled in our sweet resolve

We coax each other to evolve

You spin and throw your only hook

I am caught just like a crook

I fight and thrash, try to be free

But you have stolen it from me

Freedom now a distant dream

As you twist and make me scream

Caught in my throat like hard candy

Making it so hard to breathe

When I do, I breathe your fumes

My lungs bleed while my soul exumes

If I am the day, you are the night

If you are the black, I am the white

You can't have one without the other

I guess that's why we have each other.
