Prompt: Dark love
Source: requested on Instagram

Being in love with the past is a love too dark:
a ladder down an endless pit.
The huffing and puffing and going nowhere far,
the giving up and calling it quits.
The scorching flames that cradle too warm
a heart that stitches its eyes shut.
To claw and claw and never get out:
Being in love with the past is a love too dark.
