Like a Simile
Your hugs are like grips to my heart
That keeps it beating.
Your kisses are like stages in my life:
so misleading.
You are like the other half of the puzzle:
What's missing.
My love is like an ignorant child that likes to not listen:
Never leaving.
Your voice is like a soft whisper in the school
That causes the bell's ringing.
Your love is like a permanently-loaded double-click shotgun with the
trigger pressed:
Always giving.
That keeps it beating.
