Love consumes.
It swallows you whole; devours your will to resist its allure; makes you helpless in the face of it; ignites you, inspires you, brings you to tears for the having of it and the loss of it.
It feels like a tragedy and a blessing; an indescribable, irresistible curse that you can't imagine living without. For it burns so fiercely with the power of a million suns that should it ever go out, so would the world as you know it die in the shadow it left behind.
Simmering embers in a dark cold space left floating with the mystery of the planets that eternally seek its heat to live.
