THE RISK OF LOVE

Your love connotes
endless entanglement
I'm finding way to exit
your feeling is a hot fire
I can't quench your craving

Sounds like a stalker...

someone who can't stand their lover being out of their sight. A person that has need of constant reassurance. I like the hot, hurried feel to this, as if a too hot flame and feeling of suffocation. Good write! ~ Geez.

The piece almost reads as

The piece almost reads as someone in a panic to escape from under a suffocating blanket of love . a clever powerful brevity like it , the meaning is clear and the word choices evoke the picture of panic ,
