Love Is Like

Love is like a brick
Hitting your face repeatedly.
You don't want it to,
But you love every moment,
Every bruise that's being created.

Love is like the world spinning;
You're standing still,
But your heart's going places.
Your mind gets filled with pictures of you broken,
You just act like they don't exist,
Because you feel like you're complete.

Love is like getting on every ride at the amusement park,
Your body needs to throw up, but your eyes are full of sparks.
You're on a high on that high,
Everything around you breathes air like it's alive.

Love strange,
It's great and then burns you with its flames...
But we don't care,
We'd rather get burnt than keep it away.
