When

When

Do You know when I love you loses meaning?
When stuck on like a little paper stitch?
When said with a small exhale?
With a quiet lament?
When shot like an arrow into hopeful eyes?
Love is supposed to be colourful, right?
It’s supposed to be shouted, if not out loud then with ever fibre of your being
It’s supposed to leave you breathless
It’s supposed to heal, isn’t it?
Do you know when I love you loses meaning?
I think my I love yous are like paper stitches
These ones are holding together gaping wounds though
Put on in haste so the blood loss isn’t critical
Knocking off previous applications whilst dealing with new ones
Reapplying them constantly knowing this patient needs a real dr
That these stitches break too easily when soaked through
They were never made to close the injuries he gives himself
They’ve been used off label for too long and now the damage is showing
Do you know when I love you loses meaning?
When you know it’s better to say nothing for fear of doing more harm?

That is a really good one. I can relate. I like how you reprised "paper stitch".
