Incurable Love

June 17th 2023

Your love is like a tree;

an oak whose branches were hacked down to make way for power lines, lighting the homes of lonely people, including you and me. Leaning to one side, it attempts to bear the weight of its loss, though failing. In the same way that the limbs were cut and have calloused over and, though resistant to weather, are susceptible to disease, your love is without cure - deadly.

A love overtaken by the elements is an incurable love.
