"Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused." -The Zahir

I am torn apart
by the intensity of desires
that have forever remained unresolved.
My heart has been thoroughly hollowed
my plate of emotions licked clean
by your desires
that live in me
in memory.
In my memory of the vastness of your confessions
do your desires live
and eat my heart raw,
chew my philosophies into a shapeless lump
called Insanity.
