Your Love Kills Poem by Keith Dovoric

Your Love Kills



Your love is so mighty, it slays us all
Feels like my face is bein' shoved into a wall
It's like bein' driven right off a steep hill
No one's any match for your invulnerable will

Your love kills (2x)

On the battlefield of relationships,
You've got the trigger within your grip
Nothin' will stop you from taking that hill
You're commander-in-chief of a love that kills

A love so strong,
It can hardly be managed
While all around you
Feel the collateral damage

In the house of fear that quivers and shakes,
There's no extra room for the space your heart takes
The deed is paid but there's always a bill
We inherit the debt of a love that kills

Your love kills (4x)

Now that the fun's been taken out of it --
You tell us where to stand and explain just how to sit
And you've got us all waiting near the windowsill
For the first ground burst of a love that kills
That air raid siren weren't no drill
That was the death knell of love that kills

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
A new one. This bilious little tune portrays a person whose narcissism outweighs any love they could reciprocate, thus smothering and suffocating all around them with their boundless solipsism.
