love

Kill it before it can turn into anything else
From an attraction that keeps you entertained when bored
Soon becoming something that demands so much more than
You can ever give

Kill it before it grows within you
Tendrils reaching the darkest corners of your mind
Sucking out what little energy you have
Leaving you nothing but a shell of what you used to be

Kill it before it turns into love
Because that's when you know
You've lost
