The way you love hurts-

Deeper than any scar

I've ever healed from,

Sharper than any

knife pulled from my back.

I love you with my all,

with my heart and soul,

I have never loved anyone less,

or anyone more.

The perfect catalyst for aching;

That is why this terrifies me-

I lost so much of myself finding you,

Started from scratch, pulled a new me

From all the old pieces leftover;

I would lose it all again to keep you.

All of myself,

I've given all of myself to you.

Now I am simply begging you

to be gentle,

Hold me like I mean more than I do.

The way you love hurts-

It's more than I've felt in a long time.
