The abc's Of Love ♥

a. he'll never admit it,
but he falls asleep
wishing your heart
would stop beating,
but you would go on
living.

then, he'd take out your heart
and put it in a picture frame
over his bed.

(he knows that this
is the only way
your heart will ever be his.)


b. he reminds you
of candles.

(and how people always
blow them out.)


c. he plays games of
tic-tak-toe against himself
on your ribcage
while you're asleep.

(somehow,
he always loses.)


d. he associates happiness
with light and sunshine.

(he thinks it's ironic
how most people rely on
artifical light instead of actual sunshine
these days.)


e. somehow,
he's got your heart
in that picture frame,
now.

(you wonder if
it's stopped beating yet.)
