Hell of Love
by Jenifer Lowrey

My knees begin to shake
My heart fails to beat
I choke down a lump
I tried not to cry
I could have loved you more
I wanted to chase you
To scream louder than you
All that came out was "goodbye"
I never meant to hurt you
Did you have to forsake me?
My hands slipped
I lost my grip, tumbled to the floor
The taste will burn my lips
Like the hell of love
