cannibal

Here it is
First soft and sort of curious
and I wonder where it will lead
Now it starts to bite
and tear a bit.
Soon I will be a shred.
And all of this
is the epitome
of joy
which is always
Always
mixed with desperation
and despair
Because love is just never
a pure emotion
that can be described
as a single feeling
But it is a cannibal
who eats another
and is eaten.
