I don't know love
Is it the uninvited cobwebs clinging on to the walls of my heart?
Is it the unexpected breeze that blew the feelings I left to dry on the sun away?
Is it the lazy child that could not park dirt but swept in hollowing butterflies beneath the chairs of my belly?
Is it the visitor that barged into my life while I was dressing up and left me embarrassed?
Is it the romantic songs that I spare no space for in my phone, that suddenly filled my head?
Is it the water running from a tap, that fell on my heart, instead of the bucket?

Love, is that you?
Are you the sleepless nights that left me counting the few days of forever?
Are you the memories in my head that made me go to and from the market, forgetting what I intended to buy?
Are you the motivation that brought my knees to the ground, to pray for a stranger that became my world?
Are you the pain I never felt while my mother's cane landed on my palms?
Love, is that you?
