"love without a label"

———————————————————————

when you find yourself holding onto something for a long period of time your grip becomes loose due to the sweaty palms and slippery fingertips. which give you the urge to let go. release the tension within muscles and cramps in your knuckles. but this time your grip was too tight to let anything slide. each moment together created another band that was tied around my heart. so heavy, so tight. i was unable to stretch my love to touch the uncovered holes within your soul. and each time our eyes connected or locked eyes was another pull, stretch, retwist, and tie. tremendously compressed which only left room for the drops of my blood to seep. which would eventually ooze since releasing you is now something i choose. i refuse to settle for what should not be enabled i refuse to settle for love without a label.
