love
is actually a sketch,

the underlying
shape
of the textured painting,
not the painting itself

love
is actually a skeleton

like the ones
hidden in closets,
giving you depth
with structure

love
is actually your hand,

not in mine,
the shape, size, curvature,
the act of
waving goodbye

Okay, that's it. We're screwing things up our way. The Aimzilla and Sebasasaurz way.

Very evoking of emotion.

Reminds me of my life and the lives of a lot of people I know. Maybe everyone's life. I like the last two lines. They really capture a moment that everyone can relate to with their own loves and losses, I think.

you are the only thing that makes me want to live at all / oh, when i am with you there's no reason to pretend / that when i am with you / i feel flames again / just put me inside you / i would never, ever leave...
:iconwillowghost:
I really love this.
I like poems that compare love to new, unique things, and this does just that. "Love is your hand...." is the best part of course. You wrote that ending wonderfully.

They say vertigo is not the fear to fall but the fear to jump, because deep in our darkest hearts we all have that need, the need to jump.

'the shape, size, curvature' is my favorite line. It seems so delicate and intimate. Lovely poem.

She takes these pills as she moves along, she takes these pills and it's better. Really doesn't matter to me when you're living your life in your own medicated dream. I know you couldn't even recognize me.
