The Language of Love

Love hurts 
Like words written on my body
It’s a foreign language 
One I had not yet felt
It was a beautiful cursive type
But it stung with every curl and swirl 
It laced my skin with a drug that I hadn’t yet heard of 
Every touch blistered me with a velvet kiss 
Love kills me but I can’t let go
I’m entwined with the heart ache
