Certainty

You can't prove that love exists,
only that it doesn't.

That's why you pry your long, cold fingers
into every crack in my skin.
That's why you wait with terror-fueled patience
as long as it takes to craft your traps.

It's because, until I fail to love you,
love might be real.
It's because, as soon as you break me,
you'll know for sure that love is a lie.

Then you'll be safe,
won't you?
