How to Love
I love you so
fiercely
that I am
running this relationship
to the ground
just to prove it to you
you see
this was my education in
how to love
while love is
immeasurable
I keep
climbing
to a higher height
to validate the risk
you see
this was my education in
how to love
an elevation so
dangerous
that releasing the breath
in my lungs
is certain
death
you see
this was my education in
how to love
this point
is an isolated
rock cliff
on a mountain
I've never
laid eyes on
you see
this was my education in
how to love
I don't want
off
I want up
but my education
didn't cover
mountain climbing
you see
this was my education in
how to love
