love is an oxymoron

love is an oxymoron:

the most beautiful disaster

      the sweetest pain

           the perfect mistake

 

love makes you want to fly

to the edges of the earth 

            …soaring

 

but

what if falling

           makes

               you 

                 drown

in an ocean of 

eternal suffering

                …suffocating

 

love is when two hearts collide

and mesh into one beautiful mirage,

seeming so real…

only to end up throbbing 

        with the hurt of it being

                a mere illusion

only to end up with an aching hole 

in the dead center of your chest

 

love can be the sweetest of nectars

or the most poisonous of venoms

 

so,

be careful who you succumb to

and maybe your perfect angel

will be worth Hades’ everlasting hell
