Nails

What other greater misery 

Is there than loving someone�"?

It plunges deep enough

To carve out any doubt that

I might be capable of letting go. 

My claws are deeper in you

Than the wound you place in me.

My mind is full of you�"

All things fall off of shelves 

To make room for the trinkets 

You hand me day to day. 

I will become a painful mosaic

Of the libraries I burned down 

In your name.

I am miserable, I'm uncertain�"

I love you. 

The misery is worth it.

once the claws have been sunk in it can be hard to let go. easy but unsatisfying prey perhaps ... :)
