Love I - 3. Breaking Point

I think I must surely break

my heart cannot possibly hold all this feeling

my head cannot possibly contain this intensity

anything I have ever felt for anyone

is insignificant compared to how I feel for you

just a pale shadow, a ghost, a whisper

as much a tease to my senses as

a sun shower compared to a thunderstorm

a single snow flake compared to a blizzard

a child’s breath compared to a gale-force wind

a candle’s flame compared to the surface of the sun

I think I must surely break

just as a dam must burst

when the river is too much to hold

my soul must surely shatter

from the sheer force

of the love I feel for you
