I used to think
love was but an everlasting pain
furrowed deep inside your soul
clawing at your insides, desperate to get out
but already fermented in the cracks of your heart
but you’ve changed that
I’ve since learned that love brings no pain at all
love brings peace
and while yes it is fermented into the cracks of your heart
it’s not desperate to get out at all
rather it has molded to the shape of your heart and found its forever home.
