My Heart is a Labyrinth

 

My heart is a labyrinth

Where each door leads to you


I wish to keep these doors shut

But then these thoughts breakthrough


With persistent pounding on each door

Each holds a memory


My heart is a gnarled complexity

Concealing an agony


This world equates symbiosis to love

Some confuse it with habituation


Few think it's a time-bound dependency

Or a silly infatuation


But love really is a mirage

Too beautiful to be true


When you asked me for a muse

You became mine too


If it does not build you, it's not love

If it does not destroy you, it's not love.
