IS THIS LOVE

BY Sheila Mumbo

I fell in love with you,
Drowned in your gaze,
And like a flower,
You tore every part of me.

Petal by petal,
You stitched me under your spell,
I’m caged, I can’t escape,
No matter what your flaws are,

Every torture, every ache,
I’ll still look at you with eyes full of love
Hoping you’ll change your heart
But my heart can’t learn to let go
