Fear of Love

Fear of Love

A Poem by Chloe Garber
"

"

 

Fear is the heart of love

Sometimes it is violent, but

  The gentle creatures growing never last

How can love and fear be twisted in one that you can’t tell them apart

 

This is your last glance that will soon be a faded memory

You fear of letting go, fear of loving and saying goodbye

Your skin screams to stay while your lungs fill and deflate with their poisonous words

Your love, the fire you always dreamed

Would warm your winter night

 

You cry sometimes about it

About the new life growing in your stomach

The stars are burning out, but your love stays forever

Your love, a magical potion

Purifying the wounds in my heart
