Heartburn

you hear of Love
a cure miracle godsend is Love
you see Love
but it scars blinds bites your eyes
you feel Love
it is rough sharp jagged cuts and 
you know that Love
has passed through billions of hearts still
you smell Love
old used charred scent of Love then
you feast on Love
choke chew choke swallow
now you are Love
you burn from the inside out
and there’s no escape
