Suffocating,
drowning,
In feelings so powerful.
A care that kills.
LOVE.
4 letters.
2 vowels.
2 consonants.
A concept.
An idea.
Something created by the man.
Society.
1 word that drives you into ruins.
Leaves you dry,
Sucks up your light.
You end up in the dark.
So far down a hole that keeps sinking.
The only thing on earth that is scary enough to point you in the direction of a bullet.
