What if.

May 7, 2017
By Anonymous

They say love is what makes the world go round, but what if it's just the sun?
What if love is meaningless and barren and dried up.
What is love is a desert and I am caught in it
What if the hot sands burn my soul.
What if it is blinding and water is nonexistent.
What is every other human is in an oasis and Im in the heat.
What if love is a desert.
What if my heart is too hot and burns me up inside.
What if.
